Can't Go Wrong with Roses

Roses are gorgeous.  They look wonderful anywhere and I love to grow them in my garden.  But the best roses are the unexpected kind!  I was having a bad day and Karl came home from work with a dozen (and it's not even Valentine's Day yet!)  I was beside myself with gratitude, not just for the roses, but for the wonderful husband I have.  I couldn't keep them all to myself so I am sharing them with you as well!










I couldn't resist taking pictures to show the way the sun was shining through the bright orange petals.   





I love the contrast of the orange against the gray zinc of my french pitcher.







Thank-you for letting me show you this surprise treat.  And thank-you to Karl, just for caring.

A huge thank-you to Brenda as well, for featuring me on Cozy Little Cottage!

    Those are the prettiest color and love them in the galvanized pitcher. What a sweet hubby. Mine just never thinks of buying flowers. He is very affectionate though.
