My mom turned eighty-two years old on the 17th of January. Because she likes flowers, and because she'd already picked out her birthday outfit the day before which included the sweater she's wearing in the photo above, and because they were the prettiest bunch we could find, Onyx and I procured a lovely bunch of purple and pink flowers for Gramma for her birthday.

Because I've been doing better at living in the moment, I neglected to take photos that day except for this one of the actual flowers arranged in a vase to show Onyx. And I forgot to show Onyx. 

Someone else brought Mom flowers that day, and we were amazed at how similar the bouquets were in color - and that the second birthday bouquet had different flowers along the same color scheme. We put them in a similar blue vase and the two arrangements complemented each other beautifully. 

Again, no photo of the second arrangement. Darn living in the moment and not being distracted by devices thing!
