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

I've been watching my last rose of the season, still in bud, but hopefully this weekend! And the last gardenia as well...hope they come out together :)
ReplyDeleteGood advice..except the only thing I'll be smelling is paint! Rachaelxx
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments this week.. My roses look like sticks with a few petals at the moment..nearly time for the snip...have a lovely weekend Kym X
ReplyDeleteYep definitely time to stop and smell the roses - especially a gorgeous one like yours.
ReplyDeleteIf 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.
ReplyDeleteWell I am definitely sitting and smelling the fresh cup of coffee my sister just brought me, lol. I am so lucky to have her here. Your rose is beautiful! Thank you for your kind words!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty rose! Ours are coming to the end of their season too. Hope your weekend has been a lovely one x
