Floral prints and flower gardens

Sunny days are the days I prefer above all others, and we haven't had many of them lately. Since I've lived in Oregon my whole life, I should be used to the gray skies by now, but I'm not. I always hope that this year spring and summer will be sunnier than they were last year, but they never are. Still, all the beautiful flowers blooming everywhere brighten my mood. I can't wait until I have a garden of my own someday, where I can grow flowers and fruits and vegetables, but for now I'll just have to content myself with enjoying the yards of my family members, like my grandma's pretty yard shown in these pictures.

Floral prints are obviously my favorite thing to wear in springtime - in the last few weeks I've worn them six other times (here, here, here, here, here, and here, in case you're curious and bored enough to click on all those links!).
