The Fall of Man = Early Spring Blooms

Afternoon is right around the corner on this cold Monday. I just got through taking Churchill {my american bulldog- yes irony abounds} for a walk around our street, and spring is not waiting any longer. Over the past couple of weeks, countless Japanese magnolias have pre-maturely began to bloom due to our Nova Scotia summer like weather. Of course my Presbyterian mother, as we drive by one of the early bloomers, in good ol' southern dismay fashion has to point out the connection between the fall of man from the Bible with the  Japanese magnolia tree and why it is blooming so early. The conversation then turns to Garden of Eden, George W. Bush, drums and guitars in church, The War of Northern Aggression, back again to the Fall of Man, and then ending with ordering Chinese for dinner.


 I, on the other hand, am content to enjoy the sinful beauty with out bringing theology into the equation.

A little something I like to call honey with a pinch of salt...

{Which party dress to wear?}

2011 saw the hand of 25 slowly turn to 26 and besides a sub par Auburn football season and a pretty unforgettable hot summer night at a Florence + The Machine / U2 concert in Nashville, not much resolution got resolved. 2012, however, was more determined to kick some good old sense into me. So, I decided to gather all my pride and begin my little floral design business called Beez and Blossoms. No, I do not have a store front or a book coming out in the Fall, but I do have one amazing and attainable DREAM and some pretty great friends and family who support and love me. Yeah, maybe it will never amount to anything except for a framed business card to show to my future children one day, but      

I am not going to allow this dream to slip by while I casually walk through life. So let's get some bubbly in our Dixie cups and raise a toast at this thing called LIFE and having the courage to live it to the fullest.
