The Artful Pumpkin


I had a meeting this morning for a non-profit organization of which I am a board member. During the meeting, we said "good-bye" to one of our members, who was our recording secretary and who will be making Maine her permanent homestead. She is leaving the board but, she is staying with our ministry. At the same time, we "welcomed" a new member to our board, who would be taking on the position of treasurer and financial secretary, which was my position until today. I, of course, am the "new" recording secretary! Got it?

Both the outgoing secretary and I [as the outgoing treasurer] received beautiful flowers for all our "hard work." I don't know about you but, for me, being a woman and receiving flowers will always win my heart! My arrangement was very Autumn and, as you know by now, Autumn is, without a doubt, my most favorite time of year. The flowers, themselves, were placed in a pumpkin and it was artfully arranged with bright yellow daisy mums, miniature red carnations, rust-colored mums, peach-colored alstromeria, greenery, and tiny red dried accent flowers -- [that's the easy explanation of saying that I don't really know what they are called!]!
