    Great quote!!!
    One of my ex-girlfriends said she didn't like flowers as a gift because pulling them from the ground and out of their realm made them ugly. Keeping them in the garden made them beautiful.

    can you send me that photo? I would like to do a painting of it sometime.
    Thanks

    I think I know what she means but speaking in concret terms I think there are better things in flowers than the perfume. Which, in abstract terms, means that what's best in things depends on the observant - we shouldn't judge everything and decide what's good or bad, it depends.
    God, I'm philosophical today! :P

    I am back and I've had enough flowers there, to make me sneeze for a year. How about some fumes for a change?

    Thank You; the poor crocuses are now past their prime and don't look as pretty. At least I have the photo.

    Crocuses and daffodils are about all we have around here so far...

    Did Rob watch Survivor last night? Sooo good!

    When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other.

    Connie;
    I don't think I've missed a single episode; I love watching Survisor and the Amazing Race.

    Stephanie;
    They make me sneezy as well; I've just popped an allergy pill this morning, actually.

    Tee;
    I am hope with both boys; all is as well as can be expected!

    Jase;
    Another great quote! Is the one a Jase original?

    My partner never buys me flowers, because he'd rather give me a plant, which is still alive and growing.

    I tell him, I don't mind getting dead things, but no luck yet. :)

    i missed you too.
    no real allergies, just withdrawals. I missed the city.

    Flowers in photos are sometimes better than flowers in real life, even without the smell. My eyes, my poor itchy eyes!

    Some days I wish I lived in Arizona.
