Fresh Cut Flowers

I purchased this bouquet from a local supermarket yesterday. They are from Pendleton's Country Market, a family farm growing vegetables, bedding plants, and cut flowers. Imagine growing these flowers in your own back yard. What a treat to be able to snip a few flowers for your dining room table.

Attached to the bouquet, was this fun little note:
"The night sky has been lighting up with weather related storms this week, but we're also in the middle of lightening bug mating season. Each night our yard is full of the flashing lights they produce to attract a mate..."

I remember catching "fireflies" as a child growing up in the country. What a treat to grow up outside the city!
