If I go anywhere near my roses I get sucked into their fragrance and color and want to get a big, gaudy hat and put on something gauzy and frilly (neither of which I own)
If I go near my rose garden I forget that I am going to stain a door today, haul some sand back to the gourd ramada and plan dinner.
If I go near my rose garden I suddenly loose 40 pounds, get radiant flowing hair and my wrinkles all disappear. Oh, heavens, wait! What am I thinking???????
I'll be in the rose garden for the rest of my life.
Write me there, please, should you need me for anything at all.

Please go out there for me and take a big whiff for a midwestern girl who won't see roses until late June. I know I am sure missing the roses.
We are expecting snow...again....would love to hang out with you in your beautiful garden. Especially if it can do all those magical things ;)
I remember growing roses in California. They just loved me there and were so beautiful back in Ohio and they HATE me and i think I HATE them too. I like daylilies in Ohio. Ah, anger subsiding lol your roses are beauitful Jenny hope you had a great coffee, got that door stained, sand hauled and dinner planned! Now who's exhausted?
That's it, I need a rose garden!!!
BTW, I love your blog!
I have the exact same problem with procrastination in my own back yard!
