I like flowers.  Unfortunately, I’m not able to keep my flowers outside all year round because of the winter season here.  Some of the flowers that I planted outside last spring withered but others that I brought inside last fall serve as centerpieces on the living room and kitchen tables.  I wish that we could have warm weather here in the north land year round just like my native Philippines.  I miss those times when I could plant flowers outside at any time of the year without worrying about the frost.  Our place in the Philippines where I grew up is surrounded by several different kinds of flowers.  My mother likes flowers and maybe that is where I got my flowers fetish.

Flowers always lighten my mood and it helps to have them around the house, especially during depressing times. It makes me feel very special if someone gives me flowers. Flowers are just so lovely.
