I bought a pot of pink tulips last week and they are now in full bloom.

What could be sweeter than an empty, clean kitchen table with pink tulips!

I've been reading a book, Feeling at Home by Alexandra Stoddard (beautiful site, by the way) and it's all about making your home a place of beauty and comfort. Recognizing what colors, textures, light, and smells bring you the most peace. She says that she always has fresh flowers in her house. She makes a budget for it, she has decided it's important to her well being and just does it. Good idea.

I leave you with this quote from Alexandra
"No one has time, we have to take time."
