Lisa and i spent a day in boston and it was really nice. this was the view from our hotel and i thought it was very bostonian. I was glad we had done all the touristy stuff when we were there with mom, and we didn't feel like we had to do paul revere anything. we walked a lot through boston commons and had fancy breakfast in Beacon Hill. we ate dinner at an awesome afghan restaurant in cambridge and went to the JFK library. it was fun!

Tsetso said i needed a new haircut, so i had him give me one before i saw the family for thanksgiving. The front is mostly the same, but the back is really shaped and nice again. it was so shaggy.

Why is our flight departing half an hour late? Because everyone checked a million suitcases and all the babies have strollers. The entire conveyor belt is strollers.

time to play match the arrangement again!

this is one of my favorites:

and my slightly brighter version:

then there was the guy who's girlfriend didn't like flowers. he saw this on our website:
and i told him i only had a different variety of purple orchids, but i'd make something with a similar anti-"flower" feel.


i was getting bored with our standard flowers, so i asked the wholesaler to send me some interesting things, and i got eremerus as tall as i am:

and finally, here are the arrangements for the party on the 99th floor. i made 17 of them, and our contact said they looked just like the picture charles sent her!

oh, and there is one more flower photo, but not from the flowershop- there are all these beautiful wildflowers (weeds?) growing on my walk to work. they are so nice, and it's a glimpse of what the midwest is like without chicago and farmland and suburbs. without all that PA is forest and that's how i grew up and what i like. but if this is what prairie is like, well the that is quite nice too.
