One Of My Loves

Published in Feelin' Feminine and Modest, I'm Photogenic, Me Myself and I, Reflections of a 19 year old, Super Favorites

Last spring I found a new love… flowers. I LOVE flowers! Absolutely love to watch them from bud to bloom. They are so beautiful and I just love them.
I have been so waiting for spring so that the flowers outside in the beds will bloom. Some of them have but I have gotten impatient waiting for them to bloom… Indiana weather is CRAZY! We had almost 80’s on Saturday and then low 30’s on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Today warmed up a bit, but I am looking forward to Friday cause its supposed to be 81! Yippee! So needless to say with that weather pattern the flowers haven’t really bloomed too much.

So when I went to the store last week, I saw these BEAUTIFUL flowers and just had to buy them…

I’m not exactly sure what they even are… All I know is that I love their color and they are so pretty. They have been adorning my dresser since I got them and I love to wake up every morning to such pretty blooms!

When I went to the store on Tuesday, I found some GORGEOUS raspberry roses….

Not only are they my favorite color, but they are also my favorite smell. I just had to buy them. I tried to wear one and get a picture of me with it to go along with my theme song, Amanda Dawn, but those didn’t turn out.  I think they are more gorgeous without me in the pic anyway! :)
Seeing a flower just gives me such a sense of God and knowing how awesome He truly is. He must truly be amazing to have created such a gorgeous thing as flowers.

Anyway… I just got a thing for flowers… especially raspberry colored ones… They are one of my loves. There really isn’t a point to this besides sharing how much I love love love flowers… :D

In awe of the awesomeness of God,

    Now I can smile when I hear that song and think of you! I have HATED that song since it came out. When it first came out and was on the radio ad nauseum, I was around 3rd grade and when I would go to my Dad’s to visit on weekends, my stepsister would have her Barbie be Delta Dawn and she would be a pop star and that was the only song she would sing! LOL Amanda Dawn is much better! :-) Love the roses. I think the others are Gerbera Daisies.

    Language of Flowers is a book by Kate Greenaway.It gives the meanings of many different flowers.I first heard of the book when it was mentioned in the movie Cranford.I later found a copy in a consignment shop.

    Hi Amanda~
    I’ve never really cared for flowers,plants or gardening that much, until recently when I bought some cactus seeds on impulse, lol. Now I can’t wait to get more seeds and dirt. :)
    Rose are beautiful! My favorite color of rose is pink, or maybe the blue ones. I guess it’s a tie. :) I love how you re-did your blog, it’s beautiful. Are you done with superman now, or did yuo just need a color change?
    Luv, Alycia

    Those flowers are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo pretty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yesterday my family(excluding my dad who had to work, :( ) went to Wally-world so I can get a couple six-packs of flowers for my garden. :) We went past some GORGEOUS, bright, orange Gerber Daisies, so we HAD to get them! I will post pics of my flower garden (after it is planted of course), the peach tree, and teh gerber daisies. Mean while enjoy Mom’s pics and post of our “southern” alzeas!

    Hello, Amanda! I noticed your blog on Miss Jen’s. The flowers are very beautiful.

    I want to encourage you. I appreciate your walk with the Lord and your dedication to Him. It touches my heart to find young ladies who are living their lives for God. Very inspiring! God bless you for serving Him with your whole heart.

    I have four little grandchildren, and oh, how I wish they would be homeschooled. I am praying about it. I don’t want them to be spoiled by the world, especially with the culture we have today.

    Again, God bless you and keep you. You’re a great young lady. God is faithful!

    In Christ,

    Andrea
