In which I wish I had a garden...



So... I visited the Antique Rose Emporium today, and it was EXTREMELY nice. Okay, it might be better to visit when the area is NOT having a BURN BAN in effect (Yes, a BURN BAN (Because it needs all caps to show how serious it is, you know.), which essentially means a drought IN WHICH EVERYTHING IS DEAD. Lovely.) because the place probably would've been much prettier if more than a couple flowers had been heartily blooming. But, regardless, I had a great time, even though the temperature was at least one hundred degrees.

I am not kidding.

ARE (as they like to refer to themselves) was pretty large and had a small variety of nice paths to walk on that showcased their great gardening skills. A table full of herbs grabbed my attention, and I was totally lusting after the basil. Eventually, I would like an herb garden because fresh seasonings taste so much better than packaged ones, no matter how pretty or expensive they are. But! What ARE made me want the most was a flower garden. Full of gorgeous roses.

Just look at them:

...Sigh... I WANT A HUGE GARDEN WHEN I GROW UP.

  1. You can create my garden. I LOVE ROSES too! Too bad the pix aren't scratch and sniff - they smelled so wonderful.
