Home Beautiful? I think not.
by Jane on Monday, 28th July 2008

Doesn’t our table look pretty today?

I cut some of the roses from our front garden, like I’ve been meaning to for almost 2 years. Since we moved here, in fact.

Certainly, this picture is not a spotless article of gardenly domestic joy. (Is gardenly even a word?)

They have big, light~brown aphidy things on the buds and under the leaves.

The edges of the petals are beginning to brown already with the damp (we’ve had a bit of rain lately).

And there’s that little hand reaching in to finger one of the artistically (autistically?) placed crystals, while I growl warningly and then scream in frustration.

Hmmm… Time for a dose of peanut m&m’s again.

  1. I have given up on getting that perfect pic- not patient enough

  2. m&m’s = happy pills.

    Oh I’m not looking forward to landing in that rain shortly. Wonder if I’ll be able to take some of this beautiful California weather with me?

    The roses are beautiful.

  3. Patience is not one of my greatest strengths, but with peanut m&m’s I find myself just floating through the day on a cushion of love… ;)
