It was a beautiful day today, and in the afternoon, DS and I decided to go on a bike ride. We rode through the vines and little country roads, both very much enjoying the warm spring sunshine.
It was wonderful to see new and fresh green everywhere, and all those pretty little blossoms between rows of olive trees.
DS stopped to pick 'flowers' for mum
When we came back home, I arranged his offerings into little posies, and placed them in antique french bistro glasses in my kitchen.
They may only be little wildflowers and weeds, and may not last long, but the joie de vivre that came with them, puts them on the top of my list of most cherished bouquets.
Wishing everyone a great week ahead!
MaiTai xx
Beautiful pictures and beautiful bouquets straight from the heart, which are always the best kind.
ReplyDeleteThat picture of DS with his nose buried in those blooms is so sweet. I'm sure he was deciding if they smelled good enough to present to Mom.
And your words are just as warm and beautiful, dear Jerrine. The description of DS's pic is melting my heart! x
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, dear! :-)
ReplyDeleteDear MaiTai
ReplyDeleteHow I know what you mean and how you felt when your little boy gave you the flowers...Those are some of the moments who make life worth living.
Beautifully said, dear Manuela, and yes, these are truly golden moments <3
ReplyDeleteSo sweet of DS! And the flowers are just beautiful =)
ReplyDeleteT, I'll bet your heart just melted when DS gave you those flowers - he must know he has the coolest mum in the world :) Joanne
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! Your description alone of the flowers from your dear son shows what a treasure he is to you, and then the picture of his bouquet and inspecitng the floral scent - oh don't you just wish you could press the "pause" button on this time?
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing such a heart-felt moment. It's true, joie de vivre is found in such treasures.
Thank you, dear DD <3
ReplyDeleteMy heart melted indeed, dear Joanne. Hope he'll make a terrific husband one day!
I do wish there would be a pause button, dear MiaT, or at least a slow motion one. Not for him, but for me!
Have a great week ahead, ladies! xx

ReplyDeletephotos and in your heart! What a loving DS you have,
but I am not surprised - this picture made my day!
Chiming in on the compliments regarding DS. What a cutie - but of course with you as his mom, how else was he supposed to turn out?! He'll definitly make a great husband some day - it will just be very hard work to find a woman even slightly comparable to you! Thank you so much for the pics, they are not only beautiful, but also brought back some childhood memories. <3, HM.
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see! It's still cold here and no fresh green or flowers yet - so I appreciate to look at yours!
ReplyDeleteIn that delicate place, wove from our memories and emotions, the beauty and scent of the humble wildflowers you put in your kitchen... will last forever
ReplyDeleteMany thanks

So beautiful! Your "simple pleasures" reminds us what is truly important in life. How much it touched me to see your sweet DS picking nature's beauties for his beautiful dear Mom - thank you for sharing this special moment. One can see from many posts what a devoted, loving mother you are! I'm sure he will be an amazing husband one day - he's raised with so much love <3
