May Day Roses
May 01, 2022Happiest May Day to you! In honor of May Day I filled my house with roses and took a ton of garden pictures because the roses are at their peak! I hope you find a moment today to sit down with a cup of coffee and enjoy.

| This unknown David Austin is so fragrant. Luckily it's not too far from our bedroom door and often I can smell its fragrance wafting into the house. |

| Last week we got a new, much needed counter, sink and faucet. Totally thrilling for me. |

| We're having a dinner party tonight and this is the reason. I found this hidden away when I recently did my deep cleaning. It's sealed, and the big reveal will be tonight to find out who, if anyone, got it right. This would have been written in 2019 or early 2020, before the pandemic and when we had a dozen or more Democratic presidential candidates. Should be interesting! |

| My adult son made this Lego Typewriter and I fell in love with it and confiscated it! Maybe it can be my Mother's Day gift? |
