Today's quotes:
President Obama said, "Even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost, a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11."
When we dumb ourselves down, we sell ourselves short and lose an opportunity to shed light where it is needed.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteThe roses are pretty, I wonder why they do not have a scent. Great Obama quote, there was a spirit of unity after 9/11.
Have a great day and happy new week!
Being hardy enough to live through various rose diseases probably meant the biologists making decisions about newer roses didn't include the scent. So almost all newer roses don't have scent. Getting heirloom roses means a better chance at scents...or so I've been told.
Delete...today's roses were bred for disease resistance.
ReplyDeleteYep, that's what I was told.
DeleteI hope you have a rosy Sunday.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it's been pretty good so far...
DeleteRed roses and blue skies, a beautiful combination.
ReplyDeleteAnd back into the 80s...so it's good to hide inside during the heat of the day.
DeleteLovely roses!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm glad to see other's roses.
DeleteThere is a sinuous hedge of pink roses in my local park and I noticed yesterday that they DO have the most delicious scent.
ReplyDeleteOh that's great...they must be heirloom roses. I think at one point in my lifetime I found climbing roses still had great scents.
DeleteBeautiful roses! Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Let's all hope it's a wonderful day.
DeleteThey're very pretty.
ReplyDeleteYes they really are.
