F is for Flower Arranging

 Who doesn’t love to get flowers?   Isn’t it great that there are folks who love to make bundles of beauty?   I know I do.  When Jenn was growing up my Mom would send her a bouquet of flowers for her birthday with the same number of flowers in it that she was turning.  Here’s a pic of one…can you guess which birthday it was?


The next pic is of my nieces when they were little and on a visit to our house.  Dress up is a must for little girls.  The kids picked flowers from our property to make just the right bridal bouquet.  

F is also for Four-H   (hee, hee….4H)

 I started a 4H rabbit club for my kiddos when they were 8 & 6.   We had a great time for many years and learned so much.  After a time we added other projects but rabbits will always have a place in my heart and will always define 4H for me.  

The kids would come to my house with their bunnies and we would groom, practice our fitting & showing and learn rabbit facts.   Most of the kids competed at the county fair.

It was always a treat to qualify for the state fair.  This is Jenn with her red Satin bunny….the silly boy who kept standing up instead of staying politely in the position he was suppose to be in.   He made everyone smile with his table antics.

Check out ABC Wednesday for more “F” posts.  It’s fun!

I'm not so good with critters. I'm glad I have other talents.
