HOW TO EXPRESS MORE LOVE FOR LESS MONEY - PAPA-PEPPER STYLE!
Of course my wife is worth it, but that doesn’t mean that it makes sense.
As some of you may already be aware, yesterday @mama-pepper and I celebrated our 114th wedding anniversary! (114 months that is.) Sometimes, roses are in order. However, fresh floral arrangements can cost $30 or more, and you’d be lucky to have them last two weeks.
For this reason, I like to get creative on my own, and invest a little time and creativity into expressing my love, rather than just dropping foolish amounts of money on things that just don’t last.
Weeds are all around us. Often, many fresh weeds are nutritious and tasty wild edibles, but for those dry weeds left over from last year, there is not always a lot of use.
This is where spray paint some in handy!
Gather a good variety of your local dead weeds.
Also, get an old jar.
Spray paint some of each weed different colors, and even leave a few natural if you want.
Spray paint the old jar too.
Then arrange the painted weeds as you see fit.
The end result should be a beautiful arrangement that can hold its own against any group of flowers, except when it comes to smell.
This is a great method not only for creating a bouquet for the woman that you love, but also for adding some fun décor to any home or event. If you take care of it, it’ll last for years, rather than weeks. I know that flowers still can have a special place in a woman’s heart, but this works for me too, and perhaps it can work for you!
As always, I’m @papa-pepper and here’s the proof:

Until next time…

That's a fantastic colourful tip. Handy too with mother's day coming up here at the weekend!
You could probably cover the smell aspect too by rubbing some essential oils on the arrangement :)
Wow, you and the old dog are both so intelligent!
Is you flattery contest still going on?
I should probably do a round two of my flattery contest. After all, one can never get too much flattery :-)
Very nice idea!! My wife normally appreciate the small things I do, just because I went through the trouble of doing it. (Breakfast in bed, wit one small flower from the garden is greatly appreciated)
Thanks for sharing.
Very nice looking arrangement, Son. Happy 114 month Anniversary. We are at 473 months. Hugs to all the little ones.
You just keep it up and we won't catch up! I'll hug the @little-peppers for you guys!
except when it comes to smell.
I have a solution - get a spong put in the jar and from time to time spray with your favorite parfum !
Beautiful! (including your hands :) )
