Stop and Smell the Roses


The old dew still falls on the
old sweet flowers,
The old sun revives
the new fledged hours,
The old summer rears
the newborn roses.

Algernon Charles Swinburne


Earth laughs in flowers.

Ralph Waldo Emerson.


They that have roses never need bread.

  1. Your roses are beautiful. We had one of the hottest and driest summers ever, so my rose bushes barely bloomed, then withered. Next year will definitely be better :)

  5. Lots of roses here, Amy. I love them. Larry will sometimes stop and pick me a bouquet of them, which is so sweet. He likes them too :)
