Everything’s coming up roses

Author: Audrey, 10 06th, 2009

For the first time in my life, I have had roses blooming outside my window.  This summer has witnessed loads of roses in the front yard.  As such, I took it upon myself to try being a florist for a while.  All summer I have been forcing my creations on unassuming neighbors who humor me because I seem like a nice person (little do they know).

But alas, summer is ending and it seems my thorny beauties won’t thrive much longer.  I’ve enjoyed filling our home with fresh roses.  I’ve decided that I should always have fresh flowers in the house.  They turned my so-so living room into a work of art.  No wonder all those fancy interior design magazine photo shoots always have them on hand.

Regardless, it seems flowers might be hard to have year round in a place like Utah.  I suppose that as winter descends I’ll have to be content with my green houseplants and the occasional poinsettia.  Then again, a break from weeding, pruning and other yard-related tasks is definitely a happy occasion in my book.
