@terry00, those are some really beautiful roses you have in your garden. I agree with you that being near flowers is calming. I recently went to Hawaii for the first time with my sisters, and they bought me a lei of flowers to wear around my neck. I couldn't believe how wonderful it was to have their beautiful scent always around me, and feel the softness of their petals against my skin. I wore that lei all day! Thanks for sharing this.
Cheers!
