Well, more like through the forecast of wind and snow, Second Bloom trudged forward with buckets of flowers from Fresh Market and Earth Fare.  I brought back several buckets full of gorgeous lilies - deep purples and bright yellows.  They were a big hit, as you can see by the bouquet that Vernelle has made.

We showed up at Courtyard to a table full of residents waiting to arrange flowers.  Above is a photo of Vernelle and Ramona on the left and Pauline, Darlene and Marie on the right.  And here’s a good photo of Vernelle with one of her many colorful arrangements.  Nice nails!

Rebecca, Sally and Emily, our three volunteers, hardly had any time to make a bouquet of their own.  They spent most of their time trying to keep the flowers coming and the cups full of water.  But of course they did it!  Second Bloom is totally loving having volunteers.  And we don’t go home nearly as tired as we used to…..

115 cups were filled with beautiful flowers in about an hour!  From there Rebecca and Emily took all these colorful arrangements to everyoone’s room.  Here’s a photo of Emily, in pink, with Joyce.  And on the far right is a photo of Rebecca and Lulu.  Beautiful faces to match the flowers!
