God Bless America. went to see a great movie last night, Mike Rowes’ Something to Stand for. Unfortunately it is leaving the movie theaters. Not sure which streaming service it will end up on.

I love the Torah Minyan so much, we do so many things together outside of services. one of our members was a florist, so he taught us basic floral arrangement.

There he is, Michael in the background. He went to TJs and bought a bunch of bouquets. He is right, sure you can buy individual bunches, but a bouquet is color coordinated and sometimes all it needs is some rearranging.

Michael also brought vases, I happily took the pumpkin shaped one. I have many squares and basic vases. Here is my arrangement, start with greens on the bottom, and then build up – getting differing heights to flowers. Turn, turn, turn, so it looks good from all angles.

We were in Burt and Marshas’ back yard, so those who hadn’t been there before saw the chickens and the lovely garden.

A completely different arrangement, all shades of purple with that yellow as a contrast.

There were leftover flowers, I took them home and made another arrangement.
Tomorrow it’s off to TJs to get fresh flowers!
