Sunday morning started out with a hail storm. Fortunately, the storm was over in time for the drive to work and, while the sky remained cloudy during work and the weekly shopping, by the time we got home, the wind had picked up, the sky darkened and the rain began falling heavily with, at times, even more hail. Plans of wandering the garden to cut hellebores to float in a bowl were scrapped and instead, s few pots of bulbs were grabbed from the back steps and thrown into a glass basket that I made a few years ago.
The rain did eventually let up and I dashed out to pick a couple iris reticulata, a few primroses and some galanthus to plop into a little vase made by my pottery teacher in Alaska in the 70's.
None of the stems were really long enough but they'll nonetheless make me smile this week which is the goal of In a Vase on Monday, the meme hosted by Cathy at Rambling in the Garden. Click here to see what others have artfully arranged or unceremoniously plopped in a vase today.
