Hello readers
It was late November when I saw these beautiful roses outside of our local grocery store.
And yes, I paused to smell the roses -Also, grabbed a couple of photos
Late last summer, I also paused when found this rose-colored pepper hiding on a small pepper plant that grew on its own in the peppermint container.

Hope you have a great day

Lovely red roses, Yvette! Isn’t it wonderful to stop, smell and photograph the roses? Good for the soul. That red pepper was a find, too! Fun stuff!

HI Terri – it really is nice to pause along the way – and reminds me that the stores that take care of their landscape (whoever is n charge) it really can offer some beauty to have plants and shrubs and not just white stone – even tho rocks have a nice look too

Gino Vannelli had a great voice, I thought. I’m surprised he wasn’t more popular.

A few years ago we had a very rainy Fall and every weekend I kept putting off cutting down the roses, while hoping for better weather. We had a snowfall in early November and I did a post entitled “Jack Frost nipping at your rose.” The snow and ice were dripping off the rose buds and petals – such a pretty sight to behold, but it didn’t do wonders for the rose bushes which didn’t rally back 100% the next Spring. This song by Gino Vanelli I remember well.
