The zinnias are summer weary. It's too early for mums. But I wanted something with color to brighten the table for our last summer ice cream party.
On the way home from church, Ron pulled over to the side of the rural road we were traveling. Along the ditch banks as far as the eye could see were these cheerful yellow wildflowers!
"Want to pick a bouquet for the table?" he asked.
One of us was afraid that critters were lurking in the blooms, but the rest of us clambered out of the van and began to pick. Within a couple of minutes we had enough. I gave them a hearty shake to leave behind any possible critters before I laid them on my lap for the drive home.
Turns out we had enough to fill two Mason jars, so we put a jarful on the island and another on the picnic table.
Cheryl, we have those same wildflowers everywhere along the roads. They are so lovely--I told Grayden it reminds me of England. I love that you placed them in Mason jars--perfect for a centerpiece for your lovely Sunday afternoon affairs! ♥
ReplyDeleteLove it! They are pretty and cheerful! Just right for an ice cream party and a game party!

They are perfect!! Now I'm craving some homemade ice-cream - yum!
ReplyDeletePretty flowers, and free for the taking! What a sweet husband to stop and ask if you wanted to pick some.
ReplyDeleteHow colorful & cheerful! I marvel at the color combinations roadside.....particularly I like the Queen Anne's Lace & blue chicory combination. (Seems they used to bloom same tie as orange lilies but not so much this year. Hmmmm.)
ReplyDeletePerfect! Simple, pretty, FREE, happy, and colorful....did I mention PERFECT!
ReplyDeleteWhat could be lovelier than a Mason jar filled with wildflowers from the roadside? Not many things in my book! :)
ReplyDeleteya gotta love a man who pulls over and asks if you want to pick flowers for a bouquet!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! I like the way your husband thinks.
ReplyDeleteWow, nature certainly supplied some beauty for your table .. and your husband's quite thinking. So bright and cheery.
ReplyDeleteThe wildflowers made beautiful centerpieces! I saw a lot of these just today and wished there were a place to pull off the highway to gather a bouquet.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
