There's a Chinese proverb that goes something like if you only have $2 (or whatever monetary system you are on) to your name, spend $1 on rice and $1 on flowers, so as to feed both the stomach and the spirit. Well, while today I didn't have much more than that with me when I went to the Civic Center Farmers Market, when I saw the sign on these roses saying that they were only $1 a bunch, I couldn't resist buying not one, but two bunches. Not only are they a beautiful peachy-pink, but they smell heavenly. However, when I got home, I realized that I didn't have a vase big enough for all those roses, so I popped over to what I should start calling my "secret treasure room" (Goodwill) and not only found a perfect vase, but the yellow faience cookie jar that I've been longing to add to the kitchen. So, the roses proved to be double happiness.

Hello Kelly,
ReplyDeletethanks for your nice comment at my blog (my english isn't so good, but i think you will understand *smile*). I was very surprised that a blogger from USA is reading MY blog *wow*. At starting my blog i had a few problems with leaving comments.
I wish you a nice week-end.
