Off Topic: Stop And Smell The Roses
Several months after my surgery, I started gardening. While I continue to lack a knowledgeable green thumb, I really enjoy the process of working alongside Mother Nature. Even with all my gardening mishaps, I am super lucky to have a springtime rose bloom going on right now.
So, if you are interested in participating in the age-old cliche, I encourage you to... Stop and smell the roses. (Well, maybe not smell... But, I think you know what I mean.)
This yellow rose could be my favorite of the bunch.
This purple rose is incredibly bright and smells wonderful.
I really like the simplicity and symmetry of this white rose.
This peach rose smells fannnnnnnnnnnn-tastic.
Finally, I really liked this pink rose too.
Keep on tickin' and smellin'!
