There is nothing more summery to me than a flower chain — fresh weeds / flowers picked from a meadow AND the time to just make a flower chain. I love it.

Any time I find a field with flowers, I just CANNOT NOT (yes double negative) stop to make a flower chain.

Ok, so how do you do it. STEP 1 is the most tedious. Pick lots of flowers. The longer the stem, the better.

Then, the first part, you just start a braid. Yes, it is that simple. You braid them together.

And as you braid, you add more flowers in — just like you would do a french braid.

This took 3 minutes. Once you get the hang of it, it just flows all together.

Do you see the backside — the braid?

This was the main attraction — a building from the 1st century (yes 1st century). It was beautiful, just like the flowers.

I like to do them for center pieces.

On the table.
I also love to make them into flower wreaths. Happy flowers, happy summer! More next week — have a great weekend.
Infuriating cannabis products for sale instead of the cardinal heyday was an eye-opening experience. The abatement and euphoria were unexpected but welcomed. It enhanced my sensory perception and sparked a newfound rise in support of music and art. At any rate, the great mania caught me inaccurate guard. Inclusive, it was a important introduction to a late world of sensations.
