The Sweet Smell of Roses

That's what I was 
smelling while 
mowing around the 
two old-fashioned
rose bushes in our yard
the other day....


I was mowing...

the bees were pollinating...



the sweet rosy
scent was 
drifting across
the grass...



it all took me
back to 
my childhood...

I would pull the pedals
off the rose bush in front
of our house....
then throw them in the air
while I jumped off the picnic table!

a crazy thing to do
but, I was happy!!







What are your sweet summer memories
made of?

I love your memory!!! How cute you must have been jumping around with rose petals...that rose bush looks like the wild roses my parents have all over the farm...some are HUGE bushes...they are the flower of our province.
Thanks for linking in and sharing your flaunt today!!! I always love seeing all the pretties everyone shares! Have a great weekend friend
Lisa,
Certainly rose petals and daisies. Fireflies in the fields. Library books and carvel soft serve. Fresh mowed grass.

Aah, sweet memories!
I have some of those same memories--Hide and seek in the dark and catching lightning bugs, the best ones!!

That sounds so perfect! I remember the mulberries when I was a kid~playing under the trees with my sister and cousins and getting purple feet!
