Nah, I do not have photos of grand scenery and landscapes. Rather, I have pictures of roses, one of my absolute favorite flowers. They are always beautiful and captivating. They are even more so when they are given by someone with much love and thought.
The past weeks had been a busy one for my husband what with work piling up. We hardly had time to chat at night after the children are all in bed. He just had to do his work which at this time of the academic year is piling up. At around this time, my stress level goes up too because, perhaps, I have less help around the house, and simply because, I am me. 🙂
One evening, he came home with a box of chocolates and this bouquet of roses. He wanted to cheer me up. In years past, I would dry the flowers he gave me and keep them as souvenirs. I stopped doing that when my containers started to fill up with old and dusty dried flowers. Now, I found a way to preserve these lovely souvenirs efficiently – through pictures and some nice blog post. 😉
So, with this little entry, I am honoring the love and kindness and the man who has kept me enchanted and captivated. 🙂

So sweet!
Beautiful roses! I love how you’ve captured this sweet gesture!
Thank you, Lifeofaministermom. 🙂
How sweet of your husband:)
This is beautiful – the photos and the words. (And it takes up less space than drying the flowers!)
Captivated our hearts. Beautiful blooms!
How sweet for your husband! I did the exact same thing–I used to dry flowers and keep them, until I realized that photographs and blogging do an even better job of preserving the beauty and sentiments of gifted flowers. These roses are indeed lovely; their colors are magnificent!
This is a lovely post 🙂
