Driving so often to Sonoma, and then back to downtown San Francisco for work it amazes me the enduring beauty and importance of roses. Up north they are resplendent. Literally billions of them grace the roadsides.
Today I saw a rather poorly dressed woman, (sorry ladies, my love of a well dressed woman is absolute...you know...the sneaker thing? ) However, she radiated in a cloud of her proudly grown roses that I am sure would soon make it to her desk. Why is it that CEO's never have garden roses on their desks? It is a very "9 - 5" kind of thing don't you agree?
So this post is to encourage all of you to step out into Spring. Take a blossom or two. Remember a fresh cut with a sharp knive (never scissors) and take a minute to, well, you guessed it...smell the roses. It is times like these...the ides of May and beyond that the world is filled with roses.
Oh, and don't hesitate to add a drop or two of bleach in the water on the second day. Let your roses drink a nice sip of tap water that you have let stand for at least 30 minutes and then add some bleach to keep the water clean.
