Tossed

It seemed a bit callous to toss these pretty tulips and roses in the rubbish, but we're heading back to Connecticut today, and I don't think they would be very happy riding in the car for two and a half hours.  I thought they looked rather Old Master-ish and Still Lifey nestled in the black garbage bag, so at least they have achieved a certain level of immortality by becoming the subject of my blip today.

On a completely different note, wishing our oldest son Jamie a very happy 37th birthday today.  How is it possible that so many years have gone by so quickly???
