APRIL SHOWERS HAVE BROUGHT MAY FLOWERS…
MAY FLOWERS ALWAYS LINE YOUR PATH AND SUNSHINE LIGHT YOUR DAY.
MAY SONGBIRDS SERENADE YOUR EVERY STEP ALONG THE WAY.
MAY A RAINBOW RUN BESIDE YOU IN A SKY THAT’S ALWAYS BLUE.
AND MAY HAPPINESS FILL YOUR HEART EACH DAY YOUR WHOLE LIFE THROUGH.”
~ IRISH BLESSING
We all long for it, but achieving it is not as “Simplistic” as it seems. Enjoy these “Simple” quotes and a few gentle reminders that Spring is on its way.
“Simplicity in character, in manners, in style; in all things the supreme excellence is simplicity.” ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
“There is no greatness where there is no simplicity, goodness and truth.” ~ Leo Tolstoy
“Beware the barrenness of a busy life.” ~ Socrates
“Whatever science and philosophy may do for mankind, the world can never outgrow its need of the simplicity that is in Christ.” ~ Lucy Larcom

Last week someone dear gave me this amazing handmade “frog.” Frogs are pins mounted on a stable base. They are used to keep the stems of flowers and foliage in place. Floral frogs can be very plain, spectacular, or handmade by an artisan. My floral frog was purchased in Amish country, Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Frogs are perfect for creating Ikebana. I have used mine to display some crabapple stems that are on the verge of blooming.
Here are the crabapple stems blossoming. O Happy Day!
Martha Stewart has a great online article on how to use floral frogs. You can find it here: Martha Stewart – How to Use Floral Frogs
