These are summer memories to help make it through these next few bitterly cold days here in Minnesota. When we have weather advisories and warnings due to the cold, I tend to stay inside. Yes, I feel a little sheepish that I'm not walking outside (am I not a Minnesotan?), but I'll get back out there when the temperatures are above zero and the wind chill isn't so brutal. Here are some bouquets I made over the summer. You'll see that they tend to be small. That's because I have trouble cutting flowers when they look so good outside. Also, bees and butterflies enjoy the buffet that is my garden, and I don't want to take too much from them. Above is a begonia. Below are cosmos.
