On my way to fill the “fresh flower vacuum” for people’s kitchen tables, and nursing home residents’ bedside nightstands. Here are the first 49 bouquets of the 100 scheduled for pick up. Free flowers are good medicine for the mind, body, and soul.

“Did you know that my husband died? He was 88. I am 82. Thank you for the flowers.”

“My mother is arriving here to live at this assisted living. She will be here in a few minutes. These flowers will be her “Welcome” gift. She is coming from the hospital.”

“We met online 17 years ago, in our later years. May I take some flowers to my sweetheart?”

“I was under so much stress this week on the phone with my insurance company and doctor’s office to resolve an issue. I was at my wits end. I feel calmer now. I just needed a little kindness right now.

These roses are beautiful.“I am a visiting nurse. I came today to take care of one of the Sisters in the monastery. I will take these flowers in to her.”

“I will put these flowers at the altar for everyone in the adoration chapel to enjoy.”

“I am the activity director. I will take these two bags of flowers to the memory unit, and we can do a flower arranging activity.”

“Our residents/staff were so touched by your gesture of beautiful bountiful blooms.”
