A Rose By Any Other Name

And a happy VGNO to all! That stands for Virtual Girls Night Out hosted by Ann at Ann Again..and again. What better party could an 'over-worked-under-appreciated-ain't-nuff-money-you-could-pay-to-do-what-we-do' mom ask for than one where she doesn't have to dress up? Why I'm still in my pj's and house slippers! Or let's just say, what I'm wearing right now could certainly pass for sleepwear. Yes, it was one of those days. My internet kept failing, I got lost, in the rain, my wipers stopped working, I broke a fake nail...

Anywho, Ann asked the question, "What is your favorite flower?" That's much better. Just thinking about them alone evokes feelings of peace and relaxation.

Mine has to be the rose. I love those, used them for my wedding bouquet. They're so symbolic for me. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Beautiful, but watch out for those thorns. Sounds a lot like life sometimes, wouldn't you say?

I also think for the writers and poets among us, what a great topic flowers make to write on. You could spend hours describing the smell, the texture, the colors, their environment, and the proper care, not to mention the myriad of metaphors contained within. So now that you know a bit of how I feel about flowers, head on over to Ann's if you're interested in joining the partay!!
