Snow Instead of Spring

It’s still freezing brrr!

Fresh Green Leaves

“We are the leaves of one branch, the drops of one sea, the flowers of one garden”

Jean Baptiste Henry Lacordaire  1802 – 1861

The more we look for similarities in others, the sooner we’ll live in peace and harmony.

One may live without bread . . .

Here's a romantic one:

  

 

"One may live without bread, not without roses"

Jean Richepin  1849 - 1926 

 
Beautiful white roses will always be my favourites. White signifies purity, innocence and reverence, (not necessarily my characteristics . . . more that they don’t clash with my decorations!).

Red Roses symbolise desire and passion, and are well known for their declaration of love.

Yellow roses mean care and empathy, happiness, and the promise of a faithful friendship. David Beckham sends one to his wife Victoria every day, and I think their marriage is built on a strong foundation of friendship and fun . . . I’ll pass on the other ‘f’ word . . .

Orange roses are sent to show enthusiasm and desire. (I’d prefer an email to express this – orange would definitely not be appreciated next to my curtains!)

Pink roses show elegance and refinement . . . so, of course they’re my second favourites . . . They’re a more subtle way to indicate your admiration for someone.   

Lavender roses are traditionally used to express feelings of love at first sight – can’t wait to receive these! Their unique shade sets off an enchantment of the imagination . . .

hmmm . . . now which did I say were my favourites?!
 

 

 

 

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 1749 – 1832

“I call architecture frozen music”

Shambles, York – Built in the 15th Century:

The Shambles in York is one of its most famous cobbled streets. It used to be full of butcher’s shops . . . but now it has a more interesting choice – including Chocolate Heaven . . . much more up my street!

Ralph Waldo Emerson 1803 – 1882

“Earth laughs in flowers”

I love the beautiful shapes of the clematis, and the velvety soft texture. I’m looking forward to seeing more purple blooms very soon.

Since I laugh every day, I know it’s the best way to get through life, and it helps me appreciate the beauty of nature too.
