Sweet things

Some days, it just has to be roses

I hope that you had a happy Valentine's day, I know I did getting this bunch of gorgeous red roses.
Thank you for your visits, and the lovely comments and to new followers, I really do appreciate all my friends.

  24. Hi Carolyn,

    Your roses are LOVELY!! And your pavlova doesn't look so bad either :)

    I keep wanting to ask...is that your garden in your profile picture? It looks like such a pretty place.

    Well I can't believe it's the weekend either. Time sure goes by quickly. We are feeling like spring today. Hope your having a wonderful weekend.

    Warmest hugs ~

  25. My hubby was away on a business trip but came back with perfume the day after. One little boy at school was going around at school giving out red roses so I did get one from him. My weekend is over. Just about time for bed and then up bright and early for school tomorrow. Sure is hard to get up when it is pitch black outside. Oops! I just remembered you are way ahead of me so it is already Sunday where you are. Enjoy the day! :) Best wishes, Tammy
