Does anyone else have a hard time eating a meal after they’ve spent so much time tasting and smelling it while they cook? A feeling of being full before you even eat. I sometimes feel that way with flowers and not wanting to work with the leftovers when events and workshops are done. Not every time but definitely around Valentine’s Day. I spend hours and hours with a certain assortment of flowers selecting, processing, teaching, cleaning up, etc. that by the time arrangements are made and workshops are complete I’m feeling kind of full. Often times I send leftovers home with whoever stays to help me clean up or throw them in a simple vase to hand off to custodians. I would rather someone else take them off my hands. Well, I didn’t have anyone who wanted the leftovers this week and they’ve been sitting in a bucket for a few days. I finally made myself a Valentine’s Day floral arrangement. Better late than never. Didn’t use it all as I’m still feeling a bit “full” and ended up with a cut and plop. Meh, you can’t be a pro every day.
