I’ve been making sure I have flowers on my desk. Just a few tulips, usually. I buy them with the groceries, and pretend they are food, which I guess they are — food for my eyes and spirit. I smile whenever I look at them. Tulips don’t have much of a scent, but there’s a cool freshness that surrounds them like an aura.
Flowers on my desk are such a small way to lift my spirits. Are there little things you do for your Self, too?
Not Plain Jane 
I don't but I think I need to find something because I am enjoying your flowers a LOT

I buy tulips too..or daffodils if no tulips are to be found!

I would love – love! – to have fresh flowers in the house at all times but my cats are serial plant eaters and there is no place to put a bloom or two where I can see it but they can't get to it.

Annabelle ate tulips, so I couldn't have them in the house. Rosemary pays no attention.

This is the time of year when I love to buy a wee houseplant — usually a primrose — that I can transplant to my outside garden later. However, this year I have a kitten (Pookie will be a year in mid-May)…who likes to dig around houseplants. (ask me how I know!) I'm afraid she might tip over a vase too, so have yet to experiment…

I get such a lift from flowers on my desk! Anytime, really. . . but especially in the early spring. I think I'm going to adopt your philosophy . . . that flowers are food . . . are start popping them in my grocery cart a little more often!

I do exactly the same thing, mostly during the colder months, and for the very same reason. Food for my spirit and well-being. They just make me feel better seeing the bright colors when everything outside is so drab looking. Happy day to you, every day. 🙂
