			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="" /><img src="http://ellencaraboulder.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/PB021856-150x150.jpg" alt="" title="" width="150" height="150" class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-213" />&#8220;Botanists estimate there are more than 240,000 types of flowering plants on Earth.&#8221; (Most people can recognize thousands of logos of products yet cannot identity even a dozen local plant specimens.) However, as sensual human beings, we are attracted to the majesty of each flower&#8217;s individual fragrance, color, and symmetry. Flowers are supposed to be sexy &#8211; after all, they must seduce the buzzing birds and bees into intimacy for their own successful reproduction through pollination. </p>
<p>In the Springtime, we rejoice at the sign of bright colors popping through the ground, and the delicate blossoms of the fruit trees waking up from their winter&#8217;s sleep. These wonders can inspire us and offer a sense of hope and feeling of happiness. <img src="http://ellencaraboulder.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/JP6351-300x200.jpg" alt="Celebrate Spring!" title="Celebrate Spring!" width="300" height="200" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-195" /></p>

Henry David Thoreau<br />
I absolutely love weddings. My vocation is my passion- lucky, lucky me. I love getting to know the bride and groom. I love designing the &#8220;perfect&#8221; bouquet. I love being creative with Mother Nature&#8217;s wonderful treasures. I love being a part of life&#8217;s precious moments. I have a happy heart! I wish YOU joy in this new year!</p>

<p><em>Hope is the thing with feathers </em></p>
<p><em>That perches in the soul,<br />
</em></p>
<p><em>And sings the tune without words, </em></p>
<p><em>And never stops at all,</em></p>
<p><em>And the sweetest in the gale is heard;</em></p>
<p><em>And sore must be the storm</em></p>
<p><em>That could abash the little bird</em></p>
<p><em>That kept so many warm.</em></p>
<p><em>I&#8217;ve heard it in the chillest land,</em></p>
<p><em>And on the strangest sea;</em></p>
<p><em>Yet, never, in extremity,</em></p>
<p><em>It asked a crumb of me.</em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hoping the littlest pleasures make this new year especially wonderful for you all &#8230;</p>

The ponds have slow movement below the layer of ice. Yet, a few frozen flowers still hold their heads high. We harvested the herb plots so subtle whiffs of  lavender, rosemary and thyme hang drying and fill the air of my studio. As I organize photos from weddings past, I am warmed by the smiles of each bride with her bouquet I created just for her. What a joy my work yields&#8230; my heart is full. Thanks to each and every one of  you for the pleasure! And to my December and January brides &#8211; I can&#8217;t wait!</p>
