Homemaking|Flowers For Thanksgiving
November 16, 2023
Hello Friends,
It's been quite awhile hasn't it?
I hope you are doing well.
I just cannot quite believe that Thanksgiving is just one week away.
It wouldn't surpise me if you feel the same way too.
Summer truly flew by for us, Sunnydell did quite well for our first year of growing with a farming and florist mindset.
The flowers really strutted their stuff from August on, until we had our first freeze.
The photos for this post came from the blooms that were all picked right before the frost and most of these bouquets I delivered to decorate tables for a local fundraiser.
While the blooms were fresh I arranged this bold, bountiful and colorful Thanksgiving table.
As you can see the colors of the blooms are so vibrant.
In fact, that was one of the comments that I consisitently recieived at Farmers Market, bouquet deliveries and Farm Tours-the blooms are so bright.
The more I grow flowers, the more my outlook changes on growing!
But for now, please enjoy these blooms.

ReplyDeleteHello Briana! Thank you for the visit and sweet words too!
DeleteGood morning beloved Jemma! WOW, I can't believe the health and abundance of your dahlias and other blooms! You are shining in your gifts my dear, for which I am thankful. Anita
ReplyDeleteDearest, dearest Anita!!! Oh my dear-here you are! What a joy to see you stop by. XO
DeleteJust gorgeous, Jemima! I love the dahlias! I'm curious if your opinion of growing flowers has changed in a positive or negative light? I know a local grower who toils tirelessly for the benefit of others' joy of the blooms.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving and holiday season to you!
Hi Rita! Oh, I am having the time of my life with these flowers and toiling away in the soil. You'll find me in the garden always. I guess the answer to your question is this-I am not sure if I really want to sell my flowers! LOL! I am a little selfish (lol) Thank you for stopping by!
DeleteI am so proud of your first growing season & I can't wait to see what you get into next!! Each of these blooms is truly a magnificent work of art! So stunning!
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much Laura! It's been a neat year in growing.
DeleteJemma, you certainly have a green thumb. Your flowers are gorgeous. Love how you arranged your table. I’m so proud of all you have accomplished. You have the gift of sharing all kinds of beauty. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much! I think my green thumb was inherited from Mom and Dad! I appreciate the kindness and that you stopped by!
