The Windows Are Crying...........

Thank you so very kindly for your encouraging thoughts on Olivia's dress (previous post).......
You made both our days!


I wanted to show you these wonderful roses, I bought as a gift, as they are the most beautiful colour...


They are called the 'Chocolate Rose'.....
Brides are choosing them for their bouquets as they are soo special!

I don't think my photo's do them justice really.......
Whilst sheltering and waiting for a bus in the pouring rain, on what was our longest day yesterday,
an elderly lady joined me......
We chatted and she told me that her grand daughter used to say on days such as this, "Grandma, the windows are crying".......
It made me smile!

I am off work to day, so I am thinking I will possibly take a leaf out of my moggies book!

And just 'bee' rather than do.........
I will leave you with this little quote that I wrote on a plaque for a lady to give to her friend recently........
"Into every life, a little rain must fall,
call me any time you need an umbrella."..........
Thank you to my new followers also, I soo appreciate you popping in on me!
Have a weekend full of kindness.....

  13. Hi Mary, beautiful roses! Everything is so delicate, romantic, perfect!
    I loved your post!
    I'd like you to go to my blog to know me through two photos I posted on Friday, I'll get them soon because I do not like posting personal photos on the blog was only for a special occasion. I only wish that you knew who is Luciana.
    A big hug and a nice end of Sunday.

  15. What wonderful roses, I've never seen a colour quite like it! Stunning. Thanks for the post, I've now got the old song "into each life some rain must fall" going around my head.. And as I love old songs, that's fab!
