Flowers… by Walker: January 23, 2012

I would love to pretend that I did something useful with my weekend but it would all be a sham.  Let’s be honest… all I did this weekend was eat food, drink wine, hang with friends, and watch football.  It was delightful.  But now it is a rainy Monday and our apartment is a disaster.  I thought I would be fine waiting until February to get the garage space (remember I mentioned it here?) but we are slowly being buried alive in piles that are “for the garage.”  Between Christmas and birthdays, our apartment hasn’t quite recovered.  I think we were full to the brim before all of the holiday gifts!  Anyway, we only have to deal with it for a few more days but in the meantime, how about a distraction from this rainy, messy, gloomy Monday?

First, “Flowers… by Walker.”  Between the two football games yesterday, Walker came in from the backyard carrying what he calls the tiniest bouquet in the world.  He made it out of things he found in the yard, wrapped up in a pretty little red leaf (obviously the dandelions are a reminder I need to do some yard work…).  I laughed so hard because it was unbelievably adorable.  Also because it was made out of weeds and dead herbs.  This bouquet may not be his most impressive, but it was so darn sweet and made me laugh until my stomach hurt.  So I think that makes this pretty memorable and brightens my Monday the tiniest bit.  :)

Second, photos of Bo’s little grey mustache always make me happy.  Enjoy!

As if I needed another excuse to brag about my awesome boyfriend and use my sweet new camera, I have decided to regularly post the beautiful flowers he brings home for me.  When we first started dating he noticed I had a bouquet of flowers on the table and he asked who got them for me.  When I said “me” (I always buy fresh flowers for the house… I LOVE THEM), he decided on the spot that it was his personal mission to make sure I never had to buy flowers for myself again.  Even though I told him it was totally unnecessary and that I didn’t mind buying myself flowers, he has followed through.  Although I have brought home the occasional plant or two, he has been more than kind enough to keep our house looking and smelling lovely with fresh flowers.  What a stud.  :)

To kick off the phenomenon we will now call “Flowers… by Walker” (and you have to say it in that really serious fragrance advertisement voice… “Envy Me… by Gucci”), here are some pictures of the gorgeous roses he sent to my work on my birthday!  They are absolutely stunning and look like they will be kicking for weeks.

As to not neglect the other bouquet of flowers we have on the coffee table, I also want to include some pics of those. Walker bought these lilies and roses for me on Sunday to kick off my birthday week.  He knows lilies are my favorite and these ones are unbelievable! :)
