Lately I've been realizing that flowers are a natural way to keep track of the seasons.
When we bring fresh blooms into the shop, they remind us of what's happening outside instead of what's happening on the retail calendar.
Right now, the hydrangeas are full and beautiful. Summer is still here.
And yet, behind the scenes, we're steaming sweaters, unpacking new arrivals, and getting ready for fall.
I've been thinking about how both things can be true. We can prepare for what's next without rushing through what's now.
Maybe that's what the flowers are teaching us—to notice the season we're actually living in, while making space for the one that's coming.
So for now, I'll enjoy the hydrangeas, dahlias, the rose arches second bloom, the warmth of August... even as the shop slowly begins its transition into fall.
There's something beautiful about living in both seasons at once.
(Thanks Mom for the beautiful Hydrangea stems!)
What season do you like best? Summer or Fall?
