Tendrils of Clematis

-Celebrate big, billowing flowers by the armful,

with an exuberant large-scale arrangement that showcases

the unrestrained beauty of hydrangeas.

Tendrils of clematis winding through the blooms,

anchored in the flower frog secured to the bottom of the vase

with dots of adhesive.

-Move your furniture around, it is good to do every so often.

-Based upon the simple act of boiling water, making tea.

-With a rubber currycomb, scrub a moisturizing shampoo deep into the coat,

lifting out the scurf (dead skin) and dirt.

It is best to divide the horse into quarters, and then

scrub and rinse each quarter before moving on to the next.

-A massive gathering of a single type of flower, dainty alstroemeria,

a neat dome of them -- with every leaf removed.

-Keep brooms and mops out of sight; preferably upside down,

like armaments to keep out intruders.

-The entranceway, cut at floor level into one of the walls,

obliges one to crawl on hands and knees into the tearoom.

-Slide a pair of pantyhose over your horse's legs to protect them

from dust while you get all your tack on, and get yourself changed.
