Happy birthday to our Mom in Cripple Creek, Colorado.She's 86 years young today!
Yesterday I took this picture of my Valentine's Day roses-- they opened perfectly and have stayed like this for days. A real "super" rose, considering how far they've traveled and how many hands touched them along the way to Kroger's supermarket in Seattle. Most long-stem roses are grown in Columbia and flown in massive shipments to the Miami airport, where flowers are the largest import. I guess that isn't any more amazing than a plum from Chile, but still...Not to look a gift horse in the mouth! Roses are wonderful on a snowy winter day. We're still a good 20 degrees colder than normal in Seattle. By now the daytime temperature should be well into the 50's, but we barely got above freezing yesterday. At least there will be bright sunshine today, and rain will be back by next week. Oh, boy.
