On Sunday we celebrate Valentine’s Day.
It is a celebration of romantic love and friendship. I’ll share today a late summer bouquet
with phlox, hosta and sedum. This week’s frost didn’t inspire to buy fresh cut flowers.
A friend is like a star that twinkles and glows
Or maybe like the ocean that gently flows.
A friend is like gold that you should treasure
And take care of forever and ever.
A friend is like an angel that is there to guide you.
A friend is someone you can trust out of a few.
A friend is more than one in a million.
They are one in a ca-zillion.
And you, my friend, are very special - and so it is official.

Some people go to priests. Others to poetry. I to my friends.

Many people will walk in and out of your life,
but only true friends leave footprints in your heart.

Laughter is timeless. Imagination has no age. And dreams are forever.

Dipsacus fullonum is fun and goes with the lilac color scheme.
It has been too cold to take photos outside.
I photographed this brand new water tower through the car window :)
Happy Valentine’s Day - thank you for your blog friendship!

Good morning riita,
VastaaPoistaValentine's Day is on Sunday, but we don't celebrate it at all. You have a beautiful bouquet and a beautiful thistle too. Unfortunately it will take a while until everything is ready.
I can not see snow anymore. But better now than when everything is already budding.
Eva wishes you a nice day.
This morning we have -20C and that is way too much for me. I feel frozen! Fortunately from tomorrow on the temperatures get milder. Wishing a lovely weekend to you Eva.
PoistaSo beautiful photos and so romantic-beautiful quotes. Just love all of them and yes I celebrate a little bit. Nothing special but also love in my heart for all the people who would like to take from...
VastaaPoistaThank you for the hearty post and for your blog frienship too.
For you also a happy Valentine’s Day and a sunny weekend
Greetings and hugs

This Valentine's Day we can't meet our belovd ones in person, only send thoughts to them. Me and hubby will eat some delicious things, watch a movie and enjoy each other's company.
PoistaGreetings and hugs over to you Nova.
Beautiful flowers. Happy Valentine's day!
VastaaPoistaTha same to you Shigu - stay safe.
PoistaLiebe Riitta,
VastaaPoistadas ist ein wundervoller Strauß. Ich liebe diese zarte Rosa. Und danke für die Erinnerung, den Valentinstag habe ich glatt vergessen...
Seit einer Woche ist es bei uns auch recht kalt, so um die -10 Grad.
Ich wünsche Dir ein schönes Wochenende.
Viele liebe Grüße
Wolfgang
As I said to Eva, I feel frozen with these temperatures at -20C. It is so beautiful outside, with sun and frosted trees, but it is too cold for me. Warm greetings to you Wolfgang and Loretta.

VastaaPoistaSo I wish you Happy New Year as well Nancy!

Love the combo in the first bouquet photo of the tiny green buds and the lavender flowers. Wonderful, as always.
VastaaPoistaSweet quotes! Happy Valentine's Day to you!
VastaaPoistaGuten Morgen liebe Riitta!
VastaaPoistaEs ist immer wieder eine Freude, deine Blumen zu sehen und wie du sie gestaltest! Toll ist die Distel, die du fotografiert hast. Obwohl sie so stachelig ist, sieht sie bezaubernd aus.
