Bloom.

Tuesday night was fun. I tried a new experience... Flower arranging! The English Garden hosts classes each month, and this month was creating a garden arrangement. The four of us ladies enjoyed wine, cheese and lots of pretty flowers including roses and peonies.


Once we walked in, stations were set up with various flowers. Then we chose our vase and whether we wanted to work with scissors or a knife. After trying the knife, it seemed a bit risky, so I kept it safe with scissors. We went step by step talking about height, where to draw an arrangement's focus, how to use stock, etc. Everyone's final piece turned out different but lovely. You'll see my finished arrangement above - I was most pleased.

Afterwards, the four of us headed to the Angus Barn's Wild Turkey Lounge for snacks, wedges and drinks. I couldn't stop myself from ordering a Root Beer Float. Great night!
