Look what hubs brought in from our rose garden a few days ago. I put them in the little metal pitcher I got at Ikea a few weeks ago.
Today they started dropping their petals, but their smell is still wonderful. Random Thought:
I got out of Costco today for under a hundred dollars! I went in for blueberries and olives. I came out with $98.39 worth of stuff in my cart. Hubs was with me; need I say more?! Hmmmmm? ~*~
STUNNING!!!!! We have three roses in our garden! Sad but true! So nice to see yours hopefully mine is start blooming more. It's a new bush..go figure haha!
the roses look gorgeous! i could almsot smell them from here. well done on getting out of costco in under $100~ we have one here in Melbourne now, the only costco in Australia... and i go every 3-4 weeks. it's so easy to spend there.... on average, we're $100-$200.... last time i only bought a hoodie so got out of it with $23. i think that must be a record? oh, i won't mention i went the week before and did my 'proper' shop already... hee hee!
Hi Connie :) Your roses look beautiful! My hubs usually complaind about how much I spend at the grocery store, yet when, on occasion, he goes with me, he ALWAYS puts things in the cart that ARE NOT ON THE LIST!! Me, I almost always stick to the list! Men! Can't shop with or without them , lol :)
Connie, those are just gorgeous! You know I prefer roses when they are full blown and dropping their petals. I'm funny that way. But that is my favorite rose. :-)
I can smell the roses! I took out all my roses because every year they would get ravaged by Japanese beetles-yuck! They would never quite recover. It was so sad. So, I get to enjoy yours and get some from the store, occasionally. I always spend more when hubs is with me, too...and he aways spends more when I am with him! Hugs! ~me
Well at least you can blame your husband! It usually happens to me when I go with a girlfriend....I have to have everything she gets and vice versa. Your roses are just gorgeous. I have a lot of knockout roses and just love them except they don't have any scent.... Oh I am having a give away! Come and check it out. xoxo Diane
Too funny about Costco....it is the opposite with my hubs and me...
I got blueberried, three big boexes because I eat them by the handful, strawberries, bananas and a few other necessities....Hubby goes to eat his way thru the store....he can afford to as he kept his figure!
Love the roses, especially those creamy white ones... Jil
I really wanted to be beautiful and sexy but got stuck with being humorous and shapely instead. My dream job is Tech Writer. Yes, I said Tech Writer. I am a techie! Such is life. But I am truly a blessed chick. I left the corporate world of California in 1991 to live a more serene lifestyle and haven't regretted it for one moment. I have been married to the same man since 1961. We have 2 children, 4 grandchildren, and 3 great-granddaughters. I live my life in exclamation points!
I love blogging and sharing thoughts on life, my life, ramblings and gorgeous photos. There are no politics on this blog. I speak of my religion sometimes but that's it for religion, and there will never be ads on here. I want this blog to be a serene and celestial place for you, my readers, to enjoy and rest from the frantic pace of the world. I hope you do so with all my heart. I also have a huge amount of eye candy on here. I'm rarely boring.

Gorgeous roses. I dry the petals and use them in pot pourri, it is surprising how long the scent lasts.
