JANUARY 23rd

 

Very short read today.  

TUSSIE MUSSIE is a small bunch of flowers and a synonym is nosegay. I never heard of tussie mussie before and spell check kept trying to change the word to tissue and not  

tussie. It took a few retypes but I got it.  

I like flowers such as a nosegay that would be elegant.  I AM NOT a fan of the red roses. Never have been. They are so over the top it’s like there is NO imagination of the sender. Now don’t get in a tizzy about how I feel; it’s my opinion. I’ve received the red roses in my life BUT I love lavender or purple roses. A bouquet I find elegant and thoughtful is six roses and six orchids. In the piece I wrote the woman needs to decide between two men; their flowers help make her decision.  

The second is just whimsical about my flower preferences.  I like simple at times when I think of having a flower arrangement.

A small nosegay or tussie mussie given for no apparent reason.  With the month of hearts and flowers approaching this was indeed an interesting word.  It’s giving ideas on types of arrangements one might think about sending.  Of course it’s not just women who I feel enjoy flowers, men do also. My husband had been out of town for work once for his birthday. I ended up calling to have flowers sent to him at his motel room. Did it surprise him? Yes!  It was an arrangement of one rose and eleven carnations; plus a small Mylar balloon.  

Today is Saturday and the weekend begins. 

Until tomorrow....enjoy National Pie Day and as always Stay Safe.

                         HER DECISION 

Which one would she pick 

A decision had to be made

Two men in her life....she could only say yes 

      to one

A dozen red roses arrived today

She looked at the artful arrangement 

Flowers, greens and baby’s breath 

The sender had no imagination 

Red roses so mundane....the card just as 

     boring hand printed by the florist 

“Beautiful flowers for a lovely lady. Have a 

      nice day.”

Another floral delivery arrived

A nosegay of a lavender roses and mauve 

       cymbidium orchids

Elegant and beautiful arranged trimmed 

    with gold accents

This arrangement definitely thought out by 

     the sender

“You’re as special as the orchids and lovely 

    as the roses.  Wishing you a wonderful 

         day.” 

 The card handwritten by the sender

The tussie mussie won out over the red  

      roses

She always liked an imaginative man

                MY PREFERENCE 

I am not a woman who is fussy

But I’d rather the tussie mussie

I adore a simple flowery bouquet

Of a sweet scented carnation nosegay
