Stop to smell the roses........


    A few days ago , I glanced out the window & saw my (neglected of late) standard roses had a lovely display of roses on them , off I went with my basket & scissors to pick an amazing arrangement to bring inside . Sadly as gorgeous as they looked as soon as they were touched the petals fell to the ground.
   Except this one beauty , so perfect , the scent so sweet , the petals, perfection. It made me think how all week I had been rushing around & hadnt noticed the rose buds or when they had opened. What else are we missing out on in this crazy busy world ?
  I am giving you permission this weekend to take some time out, slow down & 'stop to smell the roses'

                                                               Happy Weekend

  5. If only, just auskick, a secondary school open day and coffee date tomorrow, (Sunday). After that I will definitely hit the couch, because Karyn said so! Your last rose is so pretty.
