Hello Olivia,
ReplyDeleteThank you!
These are roses from my rose garden. I took these photos over the summer.
Roses are my absolute favorite and sunflowers are second my favorite.
I look forward to planting more roses this year.
Have you ever had rosehip tea? Many of my shrub roses get hips in the fall and I make tea from them.
The hips are pretty, they range from bright orange to bright red in color.
Wishing you a nice evening,
Lydia

Dear Lydia,
ReplyDeleteI have tried hosehip tea and I like it, also the color is very nice: red tea.
Your rose garden in summer is magnificent.
I have only a small flower border in front of my house here in France, but I managed to set two rose bushes, one red, one yellow. I love roses very much.
Blessings

Hello Dave,
ReplyDeleteWhat you wrote is so beautiful and so true.
We are all different with our own unique beauty both inward and outward. We should all embrace that gift from god.
Instead of looking to be like others, we need to realize that each and everyone of us are perfect and beautiful in our own way.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful discription of the rose.
Have a great evening,
Lydia

A toute autre affection.

Among the flowers I love the rose
Because she has the name
of one whom I have
taken into my heart.
Your daughter may be proud of her lovely middle name.
