FLOWERS – A WELCOME ADDITION TO ANY DÉCOR

flowers-its your day There is nothing like the look and smell of a colorful bunch (aka bouquet) of fresh cut Flowers.  The way a vase of flowers enhance a room is breathe taking, they help to keep that summer sunshine and springtime glow constant throughout your home.  Flowers not only brighten an otherwise dull room, they also serve as a natural air freshener for any bathroom, family room, guest room, or any other room in the home.  A vase of flowers could and should adorn every room in any and every home, everyday. 
Sure, it’s always nice to get an unexpected gift – cash works for me.  But whenever you feel the desire to spruce up your spirits or home you may want to consider taking a trip to the florist, or simply pick up the phone and order an arrangement or two. 

Bottom-line, if you want Flowers, don’t allow anything to stand in your way to get flowers, even if you have to get them for yourself.  However, if you’re the kind of person who’d rather give flowers than receive them, remember, fresh cut flowers aren’t just for the holidays or to cheer up the sick.  Flowers are a delight anytime or for any reason, and whether you buy them at the store or you get them out of your own personal garden, they're always a joy to the person that receives them.   Sending flowers during a sporting event, especially the Superbowl, can be considered a priceless and welcomed gift.

A final suggestion, periodically send yourself a bouquet of flowers to your job, you’ll be amazed at how easy fresh cut flowers can transform the ambiance of a routinely dull environment, while at the same time putting you and your colleagues in a pleasant mood – can you say, “ a delightful mood equals better productivity.”    You or that special person you know, deserve the marvelous scent of a fresh cut, so why not order some fresh Flowers for them or yourself, so that you can be a cut above the rest, because flowers are a welcome addition to any décor – at any time.

AMELIA BOYNTON ROBINSON A BLACK TREASURE

It saddens me somewhat that I have lived the number of years I have and did not know of this Black Treasure amongst us. 
Amelia Boynton

Amelia Boynton Robinson was the first woman black or white to run for Congress from the state of Alabama, winning 10 percent of the vote at a time when only 5 percent of registered voters were African-American. Then, on what became known as "Bloody Sunday", she was brutally beaten and left for dead by Alabama state troopers as she and other African-Americans tried to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge to march on Montgomery.  Read more:  BLACK TREASURE

Additional note, This remarkable woman is still alive at age 99 years.
