The Lilies

One of the hardest things I find is how Max's obsession with water means that he tips flowers or indeed any receptacle with water.  There are few simple pleasures in life, I love flowers and I love scented candles and diffusers.  However, this boy refuses pointblank to pander to my love of these items, he blows on the candles, tips the diffusers and also tips any vases of flowers or indeed any receptacle of liquid.  I'm not really a drinker but he has also been known to tip a glass of wine so that means that all of life's pleasures are cruelly taken away because he just can't stand to see these things around the place.   This week it was about hiding a vase of beautiful pink lilies that I was given as a gift. I got away with it for a few days but it ended like it always does.  Never mind, hoping for a bumper crop of bulbs that grow into flowers next Spring to compensate for the lack of flowers in our house!
