The roses are in full bloom! We have wonderful roses climbing up our chimney, and they’ve finally burst into bloom. One of Claire’s favorite things is to admire the roses. (I took the above photo with Glenda, and as you can see, Claire takes smelling the roses very seriously.)
I hear that’s good advice, you know: Stop and smell the roses. We do, and they’re right! It makes the day just that much better.
