TODAY'S FLOWERS ~ Roses for Valentine's Day

Early this morning while the Prof made breakfast,
I went out into the garden and picked a few roses.



He would have bought me a shop full, but I preferred my
own deliciously perfumed variety.



Each one a beauty in its own right and together, a veritable
feast.

    - Cheers Gisela.

    As the waves of perfume, heliotrope, rose,
    Float in the garden when no wind blows,
    Come to us, go from us, whence no one knows;

    So the old tunes float in my mind,
    And go from me leaving no trace behind,
    Like fragrance borne on the hush of the wind.
    - Sara Teasdale, Old Tunes

  10. Oh what beautiful flowers Arija dearest. I am so happy you still have roses to pick. The Viking bought me a bouquet of red roses and exotic violet flowers. He and my sone went out again today to get Valentine's Day presents for the girls. I got mine yesterday - two round brushes. Yay!


    Happy Valentine's Day!
    Happy Chinese New Year!

Maybe after their glow is spent, you can place them around your home in little saucers. Roses, perfect for your lovely heart you share and delight so many with~ Happy Valentine's Day~

  23. Beautiful! Sounds like a very tender and loving Valentine's, and that sends a warmth through my soul. Bouquets are much more satisfying when they are home grown, I totally agree.
