Boy's and Girls Club Dinner and Auction!

  The Boys and Girls club of Skagit county is hosting it's annual fundraising Dinner and Auction on Saturday night.  It's a festive, fun filled evening of wonderful food and the most incredible, wildly desirable and extraordinary items up for auction that you will ever see gathered together in one room ready for your bidding pleasure.  Bring your wallet.  You're going to want to bid.  Alot.
      The Enchanted Florist will be donating to the auction One Dozen Long Stemmed Roses, arranged in vase.  Every Month for an Entire Year!    This is your chance to donate to a wonderful cause AND make brownie points for 12 entire months.  It's a win win situation. 

    Saturday night at Saint Josephs Center.  6:30pm  Tickets are $75 at the door.  So go....Eat , Drink, Make Merry and Raise lots and lots of money for this very worth while cause.  The kids'll thank you for it.

And the days go by....

        I must say I am shocked by how quickly the spring is sweeping past.  It's seems like it just arrived a few days ago and now it's already almost the end of May.  I know, I know....the older you get, the quicker the time flies. 

I'm certain that all the children who are sitting in classrooms around the country this week, waiting impatiently for the start of summer vacation are not thinking that time is going by at the speed of light. 

But here in flower world, the iris that were just spearing up out of the ground last week, are already starting to lose some of their blooms.  The lilacs came on early this year (thanks to some unexpectedly warm weather) and they've long since drifted away on the breeze.

 And now the peonies, that would normally be playing peek-a-boo a long about Memorial day, are already starting to show hints of flashy pink color.  And what glorious color it is.  Peony season normally lasts for about 6 weeks, give or take, but what a joy it is while it's here.  Flirty, fabulous, fragrant,and so much fun to work with.  I love love love peonies. 

And it looks like the season might very well stretchhhhhh out for a couple of extra weeks this year (that warm spell has given way to a cold snap, it feels like March out there today) But here in the Pacific NW, the weather can, and often does, change with a fingersnap.

Lucky for us, we still have hothouse tulips available for the spring weddings that had requested them.

  And I can't really regret the early arrival of  the foxgloves that are crowding into my garden right now.  It's going to be a great summer.
