Hmmm who needs to go eat some candy now? Miss iLostAlmostAPoundOvernight! Good job! Pretty flowers!  

They are beautiful Melissa 

Thank you so much for sharing your garden. I miss the one that I used to have, and while the desert has it's own beauty, it doesn't compare to your roses. <3 

Beautiful flowers as always and great maintaining!  

Beautiful roses for a beautiful person! 

Rose's are so beautiful, you must have magic in your green thumb.🤗😷🏅🧚‍♀️ 

Great run/walk! 10 miles! I'm impressed. I used to be able to do it but even then about 4 miles was plenty. Pretty flowers! Right now there are no flowers anywhere on my property. Maybe I'll go get some petunias for my planters on the deck. But the squirrels usually dig them out to bury the peanuts that I leave out for them to eat! One time I had a long planter that fit on the deck railing and it was full of pansies. One day I saw it had been knocked over, I assume by a squirrel or wild turkey and it was laying upside down on the ground below. A couple weeks later I saw pansies growing all over the ground! Then the deer found them................. 

I bought ice cream- thought since I am the only coffee drinker that my "coffee" ice cream would be safe and I could savor a little at a time. I was wrong. They got into it- and by "they"- I'm not sure if it was the hubby or my youngest- both claiming to have only had a bite- yet 80% is gone.  

And great loss and mileage! ❤🏃🏼‍♀️🖤 

so nice to something scrumptious that IS'NT food  

With roses like that, you should have been a florist, Melissa. I know I'd smile BIG-TIME if I got a bouquet like that. Thanks for sharing your amazing floral pictures. ❤ 

Soooo pretty and perfect! 🥰 

I sent you like 40 messages. haha. Ok- Only like 3.  

Your roses are always so lovely 🌹🌺🥰 

Good for you on the walk/run and on the weight loss. The roses are beautiful and your photography is spot on, thank you for sharing. 💖 

gorgeous  

Outstanding walk/run, ice cream, a nice drop and beauty. It doesn't get any better!!! 

Oh, guys! ♥️ Thank you all so much. It has been a day of not being around much for me. I will be catching up with people more tomorrow I hope. Anyway, thank so for your kind comments and all of your encouragement. I do so love my roses. I've never wanted to sell or arrange roses as a job, but I've thought of trying a little side thing of caring for other people's roses. I've learned a lot about what works to keep them healthy in a local notoriously difficult to grow them well. The bush from which these came is my largest and least fussy one! Anyway, thanks to you all! I'm working at this maintaining thing. 😁  

I love your roses! 

Beautiful!
