Roses, and smiles.

It's Wednesday evening here at the Lakehouse.
I'm waiting for Spring to arrive.

It's still below freezing at night, and we wake up to a dusting of snow in the morning.

I am so anxious to get outside, and dig in the dirt.
I miss my roses, and all of the other flowers in the gardens.

The water in the canals is so high, it's ready to come over the sea walls.
I guess we won't be complaining about low water levels this summer.

Until the warm weather finally arrives, I'll be going to the market to pick up more roses for the house.
I'm so happy I can have flowers in the house!
Even if they don't come from my gardens.
What would we do without fresh flowers?
I hope it's warm where you are!
Buy yourself some flowers today....just because. I'm sure it will make you smile.

  1. Great idea to buy ourselves big bouquets, Debbie! Your roses are gorgeous, and your home looks so inviting and pretty. Our lake is up alot too, which is a good thing. It was lower than we ever had seen it last year. Have a great weekend!

  6. Fresh flowers in the house...yes, I agree about the uplifting effect they have. It's time for us to pack up our indoor plants and give them away to neighbors before going north for the summer.
