photo du jour - pink rose

this beautiful pink rose bush on the front of the house
grows alongside and over the top of the door which leads into the kitchen
i'm so grateful to a previous occupant for planting roses around my door!

it's looking so lush this year that I decided to make it my new summer header



it's blooming just in time for pink saturday

I love pink. Right now I am enjoying the biggest pink peony I have seen in a long time. Your roses are beautiful. Just as they should be.

I envy your lush roses growing around your door. To be able to smell their perfume when ever you open your door must be amazing.
