Freewrite: The day in the life of a flower

So... I have roses sitting in front of me, and my brain is in its mushy stage where I don't have to think about anything, so I won't until I have to do my soc homework. So, the mush sits there, and thus my inspiration will be whatever happens to be in my immediate attention; hence the roses.

So. There are two vases. One, with a concoction I made myself (woo, my first ever flower arrangement), and the other a simple design I helped pick out and make for my roommate. She was having a rather crummy day, so I grabbed 3 long-stem roses from the plethora available to me and found a beautiful gold ribbon to go with them. It made her morning, which made me happy.


We also ended up making an arrangement for my ickle sister, who happened to be very sick. (Not that I'm surprised, I think she keeps herself busier than I do, which is saying something. 'Cept she still manages to do it all :) .) It was pretty-- lots of fall colors in the flowers, of oranges and crimson reds with some sunflowers. *sigh*. I love flowers. They make any dreary jail-esque cinderblock apartment happier...
