Red roses for the weekend






 I see trees of green... red roses too, I see em bloom for me and you.
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world!
~ Louis Armstrong song



Sorry I am a little late, but just want to wish all my friends in the US, a happy belated Independence day and wonderful weekend.

Today was one of those days that I had much to do, but did not really accomplish much.

Do you ever sit at your computer and visit many lovely blogs and before you know it, the time just seems to have ticked by?

Tomorrow is another day, so hopefully I will get the things on my to do list, ticked off. 

 Flowers are loves truest language.
~ Park Benjamin
 Thank you so much for stopping by and to new followers,  I appreciate your friendship.
I wish you a perfect weekend 
hugs
Carolyn

  2. Dear Claudia,

    Isn't it funny when you have a song going through your mind and that is so uncanny, that you had this song in your mind.
    Thanks for visiting
    love and hugs

  10. Dearest Carolyn,
    Well your wishes are timely for me as we celebrate today with our best friends. They adopted us as 'Family' and so we have a big family reunion today. We pray that it will not rain on us with thunder; as it has been doing now for weeks on end. Love to get out in our gazebo or into the garden but it is way too soggy...
    Hugs and happy weekend!

  17. Hi Carolyn. Just getting back into blogging myself but have always checked up with what's happening in Waiheke. Yes, I can too spend time on blogs and before long I've missed an hour or two haha. But it's fun. Hope you're all well. How is your mum?

    I am so proud that you have found me.
    You have a wonderful blog - I have looked around your blog and it is amazing.

    I love the little girl.
    Yes, I too have spent far too long at my computer catching up with virtual friends. But then, why else have a blog if not to encounter new people, new ideas?

  28. I do the same thing Carolyn. I will look at the clock and be shocked at how much time has past. But it is a good way to enjoy the time :)
    That Armstrong song is one of my very favorites. The music from that era just makes me happy!

  30. Dearest Carolyn,
    Oh, how sweet of you and beautiful roses and quote♡♡♡ And we all (blogging friends) have the same feeling, don't we?
    "Tomorrow is another day" is my motto after I saw "Gone With The Wind" about 45 years ago at the theater p;)

    I DO hope you are starting a wonderful week, my friend.

    Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*

  33. Hi Carolyn,
    The roses are gorgeous and a nice way to start the day. I have always loved that song too.
    Thank you for the 4th of July wishes. We did have a nice long weekend. It is very hot here now and in the 100's predicted all week.

    Wishing you a wonderful week and opportunities to accomplish what you can off your list. I have the same sort of days now and then. The day can slip away, but yes, tomorrow is another day!
    Hugs, Celestina Marie

  34. Good morning sweet Carolyn!!!!!! Thank you for the well-wishes for our fourth of July! And I was so happy to see your comment on my blog as I finally opened it up this morning; it feels strange to not be "connected" on-line for days, and will resume my blogging by mid week. I fly home TODAY!!!!!!

    Be well sweet friend, and I will see you in a few....Anita

  36. Sweet Blessings to you!
    Flowers really are a wonderful language all their own and I so love them. Your roses are beautiful. Just imagine a bundle of flowers coming to you in cyberspace to bless your day.

    It happens to me a great deal....the clock ticks away and before I know it an hour or two has passed. I need to be restricted.

    Have a blessed day and thank you for the well wishes about Independence Day USA.

  37. Oh Carolyn, I have a tear in my eye now because the song 'What a wonderful world' reminds me of my dad who left this world over 20 years ago. And the red roses are soooo beautiful. LOVED LOVED this post today. Thank you for lifting my spirits, my sweet friend.

    Love,

  38. Pretty roses! Oh, YES! I can totally relate to sitting behind the "screen" and time flying by...although most of the time I do my computer surfing at night. And then before you know it, it's late, late, late!

    Hope you have a fun and productive week.

  39. Hi Carolyn, it seems no matter what I do lately, time just flies faster and faster and faster! My husband says the same. The weeks are just whizzing by at top speed. It can be a little unsettling for sure. Hope you have a wonderful week. Tammy
