Fresh Flowers: Week 6

True, carnations have a reputation for being a little old-fashioned, but I think that’s part of the reason I like them.  When I was little my Grandad would bring small bunches of carnations home as a surprise for my Grandma.  He liked the red ones, and I remember he wore a carnation on his lapel during their 50th anniversary party.

It’s less than a week before Valentine’s Day and I got these flowers for $1.99 at the grocery store.  Go out and get yourself some.  Toss them in a vase (or in my case, an extra drinking glass) and be your own Valentine.
