ranunculus - tis the season

Apr 30, 2025

… my favourite flower is ranunculus & this past weekend they made their annual appearance at my local market … nobody was more happy than me 🤸🏽

… fresh flowers remind me of my mom, whom i affectionately call “gertie” … outside of chocolate & all things lemony there was nothing gertie loved more than fresh flowers ~ so i introduced her to ranunculus last spring which makes me think of her this week as i swoon over their astonishing beauty …

i miss not being able to share them with her this spring🤍

… gertie died in october & the past few months have been an exercise in understanding grief & loss (more) while working thru caregiver burnout …

with the arrival of spring, it is no surprise to me that flowers indeed soothe the soul 🌸
