A sucker for roses
Happy Valentine's Day. We had a lovely little exchange of chocolates and cards this morning at breakfast. Homemade cards are so sweet.
Yesterday the kids were at our friends' house. The dad in this family of friends works for an organic-fair-trade flower wholesaler, and apparently he came home with flowers when my kids were there. Well, I don't know how she did it, but my daughter managed to snag TWO DOZEN white roses and brought them home. They are so frickin' beautiful, I can't walk by them without smiling. A rose is a decadent flower, don't you think? Two dozen of them are unselfconsciously magnetic, like a gaggle of gorgeous girls talking and laughing on the bus. You can't help but look at them, admire them, envy them a little the simplicity of being truly, effortlessly beautiful.
Again with the wishing for a digital camera. Oysh.
