We had a lots of folks bring us dinner, baby gifts and flowers after we had Max. I love how babies bring out the loving, generous spirit in friends.
As my Mum usually is here to help us when I have a baby I have always said I don't need meals brought. But this time I didn't say no and am oh so glad I didn't. It was so good to not have to think about what was for dinner, good to not cook, and best of all good to eat something different. We were brought the loveliest of meals, and each one fed us for 2 days and some lunches! Thank you to my friends.
It has been lovely too having flowers about the house. I rarely get flowers for our house, but as Max's flowers are dying and we have been combining the healthy ones into one vase, I am missing the blooms in the kitchen, on the dining table, by my computer.
But there is nothing as lovely as a dying flower.
Makes me think of the movie Great Expectations.
How wonderfully blessed you are.
ReplyDeleteHi, Shona. You dropped by my blog several weeks ago, and I wanted to thank you for the lovely comment you left about my art. I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you--I have been really busy, and have had a bit of trouble balancing my time lately. Your blog is wonderful, and I will definitely be back! =)
ReplyDeleteShona, I think dying flowers, especially roses are beautiful too and love the picture you took of yours. We just now watched my favorite version of Great Expectations. It was not a BBC movie, but a Disney made for TV version which featured Anthony Hopkins and John Rhys Davies. I've read everything Dickens ever wrote several times over (that's at least 14 novels and his biography) and you are right...it does make you think of Great expectations..if you mean Miss Havisham. She looks just like that rose in all her aged, crinkled taffeta and tulle. I've 'weaned' my children on Dickens and this is our family's favorite one.
