Even Superwoman needs flowers in the house regularly

Today was one of these days, just too much to do. Most of things were of course self-inflicted like making plum chutney and enjoying time with friends, but as a consequence everything got squeezed and I still haven't got done the laundry! But I did do my flowers and I am now writing my blog. 

Like everything else, I also did my flowers in a rush. I had an idea, combining some beautiful Helenium's with Hydrangea Annabelle, but arranging them in a vase wasn't as straight forward as I had hoped. I picked just the one stem of the Helenium and three stems of the Hydrangea's which proved to be not enough for the vase. So I added some goldenrods (Solidago) and rosemary. 

I am glad I didn't postpone doing my flowers though as today I had a few moments already admiring their beauty, giving just a few moments of peace and serenity amidst the chaos. 

Indeed, even superwoman needs a few flowers in the house to help her relax. I'll tell her next time I see her.
