This is one of my favorites because it reminds me of those old fashioned roses in still life paintings from the 1900s. My granny had one of those prints and I remember it vividly. It was a mixed bouquet with petals falling on the table, and a bee on one of the blossoms. My granny also loved roses and had a beautiful little rose garden on the side of her house. I remember following her around as she tended it, amazed at the beautiful things growing there. I've been told that I broke off several unopened buds when I was a small child and I can't believe she didn't lock me in the basement for it. But she didn't, and they developed new buds, and she must have forgiven me. I think. I hope. I'm so sorry Granny. I like that about my memory; I tend to remember the good stuff and forget the bad. Isn't it funny how a bunch of roses brought all that out?P.S. I walked today; 60 minutes/6036 steps.
Laura, those roses are gorgeous. I enjoyed reading about you and your grandmother.
ReplyDeleteBoth of my grandmothers loved flowers, too.
And, about the memory issue. I just glad when I can remember anything.
Happy Pink Saturday.
Those are just beautiful, Laura!
ReplyDeleteSuch beauties. I could sit and look at them all day. Happy Pink Saturday to you.

I loved the sweet memories you shared about you and your "granny". I don't recall flower stories about my grandma, but I do recall she taught me to make little quilt squares AND how to fish using a cane pole in her farm pond. And I thank YOU for letting those memories surface tonight because I read your Pink Post.
ReplyDeleteWow! Those are breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteHappened upon your blog and enjoy your pics. You must be in Northern California? That's were I live....
ReplyDeleteYour cottage roses are lovley and aren't wellies highrubber boots?
Such a lovely shade of *pink* roses! I can just smell them! I liked your story about your grandmother too! She must have been a sweet lady, we weren't allowed to even pick wild blue bells growing in my grandmother's yard!
