rain, rain.....

ok, so....i had invited a good friend out to see the roses this afternoon...she has never noticed that i had roses when she was here before......and as fate would have it....the rain was pouring down when she arrived.....so we got out umbrellas to look at my roses....and then sat back on the front porch in the red rockers to drink champagne and talk about roses.....among other things.....i have been to paris with this person......which makes her dear to my heart......and though saw no roses blooming when we were visiting in january a few years back....we were able to pick out places where roses would have been lovely......a good way to end my 5 day vacation....champagne and rain.......i'll think on that when i drag myself out of the bed tomorrow at 6:30.....
