Hear the Silence?

silence [ˈsaɪləns]

n

1. the state or quality of being silent

2. the absence of sound or noise; stillness

Ahh the sound of silence.

No fighting, No running around the house, No shouting of "MOM!!!!" and No screaming of "SAMMMMM!"

It is pleasantly quiet.

I am actually putting my taxes together.

UGH.

Every year I vow to get it done early and every year I am behind.

I finished it all and I have brought it to the accountant.

The quiet will be over once they come home from school.

Even though I enjoy the silence, I still missed my kids today.

Look what's lurking in my house..

That would be a Maya-Tiger

She was lurking in the flowers after a party

She had so much fun at that party.

Can you believe those roses? Some are left over from my birthday last week and some as a gift for my Tricky Tray.

You know the trick to cutting flowers, specifically roses?

Lay them down in a room temp tub/basin of water and cut them while under water. Always keep the water full and never have the leaves from the stems in the water (they create bacteria). Roses drink from their full stem. I learned this many years ago when I took floral design as a science at community college. I still use some of my skills.

Those yellow roses are from a week ago and not from some fancy florist.

I love flowers so I am going to try and get some in the house more often.
