…not a photographer or flower arranger.
My hubby has the most beautiful rose bushes, he is so proud of them and everyone comments about them when they come for class, especially now when they are blooming and smelling so nice.
At class Connie said she could not believe I didn't have roses cut in vases all over the house, and I said I was waiting for Jeff to cut me some. So this morning I thought to heck with it, I ain't waiting, so I took out my scissors and got me some. After quite a few pricks and pokes I filled up a little vase thingie with holes in it so the flowers sit up.
Pretty eh? I also think that thing I bought at Tracy's last year might be one of these too, so tomorrow I am going out to cut more and do another vase.
I took some pictures outside, and they turned out not too bad, I still leave my big girl camera on auto cause I am still not too sure of all the bells and whistles on it.
Jeff and Eric built this arbor thing for his climbing rose a couple weekends ago. Not sure what is in the sky, I think it might be a UFO. ET phone home!
I like this one cause I leaned down and got the wood fence, plus the sky, look how blue it is.
Lots of pink roses, I sure wish there was scratch and sniff for the computer, the smell is amazing.
I like this angle too.
Jeff also has these other type of roses on the other side of the yard and they are smaller and almost like mums.
So today was fun, I met Melissa (my enabler – I told her I would put that over in my "Di"ctionary so people knew who I meant.) We were telling the Barnes and Noble sales girl, and she was adorable and so helpful and so funny.
I was looking for winter boots for Alaska, cause living in Arizona, I don't have any, I thought maybe I would get a great deal on a pair, and there were none (that I liked) to be found, so I think fate is saying, cowboy boots will be plenty.
Then we went to Liberty Market for lunch, OMG! delicious, and I ate too much! Then we headed over to Barnes and Noble so I could go Nook shopping. Mel has one so she gave me great advice.
A cute jacket for my new toy, the Jack Spade stuff was 75% off so this was a great deal. We were not sure who Jack Spade is, but I think he is the character that Johnny Depp played on Pirates of the Carribean, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Yo-ho-ho Matey! Walk the plank and shiver me timbers!
Here's my girl (I'm trying to think of a good name for her? Any suggestions?) She's all loaded with a few books. Yes, the Twilight Saga series…of course. I need to read up on the instructions as I am not sure how to do all the features. Oh and I tried playing Sudoko, what is easier then easy? Cause I was not having any luck. I hate math stuff, it makes me want to cry, my brain doesn't work well with numbers.
Well I better get crackin'! I didn't get much done today work wise, it was so nice, I needed a break. I told myself I need to have one day a week that is a me day, so today was it. Is that bad? Huh honey? Since Jeff reads my blog in the morning…ha!
Have an awesome Wednesday and thanks so much for stopping in!
The roses are just beautiful!! I wish you had scratch and sniff too…..it's rather cold and nasty here….course it's 311 am so i expect it would be. I hope if you need boots for your trip, your able to find them….as it's snowing in NY you might need them but who knows….
Have a Wonderful Day!
Close, but his name in the movie is Jack Sparrow (I think) – but you stick with your story anyway (lol). Beautiful roses I can smell them now.
I started off as a stamper and well now I am just plain addicted/obsessed by any craft and photography and I am getting quite good too :D. I love your hubbies roses… I have tried to grow them but am useless. I like your girl too. I got the kindle and have also loaded loads of books… I love that it is light and it stays in my bag (in theory) so that when I have to wait for someone or in a que I can read 😀
Wow!! Jeff's roses are beautiful! The smell must be just amazing too! I'm still waiting for daffodils and crocus's to come out up here. You got some great shots of the roses. Must be beautiful to see for real too!
Beautiful! I wish my home was blooming with rose bushes like yours. We are expecting more snow today … ugh. Enough!
Amy.
ps
Nice shot of the UFO ….
Nice try – Johnny Depp played Captain Jack Sparrow..but you were close….Jack Spade is a manufacturer of stuff http://www.jackspade.com/shop/home.php
You crack me up.
Jeff's roses are AMAZING!! I am impressed.
Luv ya
Jax
Love the rose photos – beautiful! Had a great day yesterday, too fun!!!
Love ya!
I'm happy to see you got the Nook! You will love it. I think the Sudoku on it is tough, and I LIKE math. Your flower photography is lovely too.
Hugs to you too Di!
Jack Sparrow is who Johnny Depp played….now you know but you can stick to your first version if you want; no worries.
I absolutely LUV your site. I have you bookmarked and you are one of the FIRST sites I visit every day. I get so tickled at your comments; you definitely write like you talk and that is so amazing.
Keep the good stuff coming…oh and how are the girls doing? Still laying well?
Bev :>
Oh what gorjus roses. Jeff is a talented dude. Thanks for sharing them with us. I am an extremely challenged gardner. Part of it could be because I have to go outside and put my hands in dirt and possibly see a snake (eeekkk). Your Kindle (or whichever one it is) looks like fun- personally I will keep my paperbacks. Sudoku is great and has nothing to do with math. It is just using numbers 1-9. But I have never tried the one on your Nook and it could be really hard. Personally I love the ones you can make yourself on http://www.theteacherscorner.com You did a great job of arranging the roses too. TFS today. Oh and we didn't get blown away in the storm yesterday, just a roof and a few trees in town.

I love your pictures of the roses, you did a great job with them, I can almost smell them!! If you think you will need boots for Alaska you could check the LL Bean site, maybe you will luck out. Cowboy boots would probably be ok but maybe a little slick on the soles and no grip on the snow and ice. Tell Jeff his roses are gorgeous and thanks for letting us share the beauty.
Hi,
I live in Alaska and I don't own winter boots. I think cowboy boots will be just find. I wear sneakers and no show socks all winter long.

We always get a picture of the back year and not the front. What a lovely Rose garden he has I too would have roses all over my house!!!!!
it's no wonder your hubby gets so many compliments on the roses – they are absolutely stunning! thanks so much for sharing
Just got back from Thomasville, GA, and took lots of pics of the roses in their Rose Garden. Jeff's are better!
