The Dew Is Still on the Roses

This morning I went out to the rose garden while the dew was still on the roses and snipped a bunch for another bouquet in the house today. I also seemed to have brought a few bugs in with me. But I thought I'd share them with you along with some random thoughts.





Aren't they just lovely? Nothing can make the human heart soar like beautiful roses fresh from the garden.

And here is where they went in the house today.

Random Thoughts:

Vulgarity is often the first step down the road to indulgence. To be vulgar is to give offense to good taste or refined feelings. It is only a step from vulgarity to obscenity.
*

French fries are the vehicle I use to get my fix of catsup.
*

Can someone tell me where the terms yada, yada, yada and blah, blah, blah came from? Terrible grammar. I usually say "and so forth" but never, ever blah or yada.
*

Does anyone know how they determine fiber in fruits? This inquiring and inquisitive mind would like to know.
*

Wouldn't you hate to be the model for a Life Lock ad for a predator?! Yikes...
*

Though it would be comforting to think that galaxies revolve around me; I am NOT the center of the universe. Hubby told me this once a very long time ago and it absolutely stunned me! I am NOT kidding. It was a very real eye opener. I wonder if he takes delight in bursting my bubbles. Hmmmmmm.....

I saw this ad on a news site the other day and just stared in wonder at it. Truthfully, I'm not sure I "get" it!

  6. Connie, now you have me wondering about such matters as fiber.
    Your roses are beautiful and I love seeing them.
    I can't believe my eyes that anyone would want to call an inmate. Happy to know I won't have to ever do that. Bunches of love and hugs, Pat

  7. Those are such beautiful roses. Love the peach ones--I dug all my roses up a few years ago and I had lucious ones; they just took too much care. Now I have some carpet roses which don't require anything!But they are not as lucious either. So you are thinking of covering sofas white. I have already changed mine since posting! ha so fickle I am!! and I do love to say blah, blah , blah--my hubby's Uncle would say "and so forth and so on"

  13. Well, aren't these just darling! I got your beautiful flowers and oh la la they are to die for! I am saving them for part of my pink Saturday. I have not had any probs with my chandy, but a primer would probably make it last alot longer. I was really surprised at how pretty it turned out. Thank you for stopping by you are a such a bright light in my world.
    Hugs,
    Olivia

  18. Hmmm...well, I see I could spend days and days on your blog and still not see everything! It's all so very pretty...and I would give anything to have a rose garden that gave me some like yours!

    The random thoughts were great...I think I'll have some fries with my ketchup too!

    I hope I wasn't the newbie with the blog problem but it wouldn't surprise me at all if I were! Story of my life:)

    So happy to "meet" you!
