Roses from the Garden

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?

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

  6. 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!

  7. 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 :)

    Have a great week!

    Warmest hugs, Brenda

  8. I can almost smell the roses from here. Roses are a flower in a category all their own.

  10. 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. :-)

    XO,

  14. 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!

  16. 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

  18. 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...
