My roses are blooming......

and my bud vases (all two of them) are full, so....this is what I had handy for two roses whose blooms are fading -- fast. Why is it that their smell seems to be strongest as they are wilting? I don't know but these two roses smelled so good I just couldn't toss them out.

Now, I have some beautifully perfect roses and rose buds in my bud vases so I wondered last night why it was I kept gazing at these particular roses and smiling. Then I realized why. They are really tacky sitting there in their empty Corona bottle (Corona light at that) but I find them so pleasing. In the past, J. has labeled some of my choices as tacky. (Like the bottle top earrings I wanted at a fleamarket. I mean, come on now, who could pass up Coke bottle-top earrings? I'm just asking....)

I guess last night proved it. I am a tacky person with tacky taste. Now that that's settled, guess I'll go to the fridge and empty another Corona bottle for more wilting roses.
