TODAY'S FLOWERS - Nothing but Roses


I feel like I had been sent to outer Mongolia, 12 days without 
contact to the outside world!

The internet totally cut out, nothing would rectify the problem. 
My fabulous grandson checked and tried everything inside 
and out. We thought of having to replace the computer.

This evening I switched it on again and, hey presto! everything
worked in tip top order!

Whatever he had done, had fixed it after all.

Just the pictures loaded in the wrong order.


Just a few roses from another lifetime in my garden.


I guess you have noticed by now that roses, especially scented roses,
are very dear to my heart.


When you have roses in your heart, how can you help smiling?

Thanks for all the kind folks at TODAY's Flowers for 
this flower filled meme.

      They were roses from another time. It has been too hot and dry for my roses to flower. I just hope they survive.

      Funny how reliant we have become on the internet in such a short space of time. However did we manage without them or the telephone let alone mobiles as well as vacuum cleaners, washing machines, refrigerators and electricity?

    Your roses always make me smile. I love the smell.

    Was in a store yesterday and saw Orchids which make me think of you.

    Hope all is well especially now that you have internet again.

    The Internet, computers, what on earth did we ever do before them, and now that we appreciate their existence, it would sure be nice, if they worked when we wanted them too. I am glad that you are back on and these images are gorgeous Roses, love those colours~

    Glad to see you back in time for the Australia Day long weekend, and that the weather is kinder for us all. I love roses too, the deep red Papa Milan being my favourite - the fragrance is just beautiful. The scent is very healing, heady and relaxing - begs to be breathed in deeply.
    How lovely of your grandson to be so helpful Arija - he is a gem.

    Beautiful roses! It will be a while before we see them blooming again. Perhaps the internet problem was at the other end of the wires, not at your house.

      The problem was definitely in the computer, it did not even show the wireless icon. I have separate internet from my daughter's family and my computer would not log on there either. Thank God for grandchildren who understand these modern gadgets.

    It makes me happy just to look at your pictures! Beautiful. Thank goodness for your talented grandson. Computers, I swear, you can't live with them and you can't live without them!!

    (We were off line for 5 days -- last week until yesterday...I had withdrawal pangs!)
