Okay so, I am tricky. But then again, no one ever said I wasn't ;)
This post really isn't about truffles :)
But I feared that if I said, Rose Covered Paths, you might be like, isn't she over the roses yet? Doesn't she realize how annoying she is? I know how annoying I am. I do. It's just that, well, I can't help myself. But, you can slap me in your mind, if it makes you feel better?
The thing is...
We sort of fell right over the edge.
Don't worry, I am not talking in third person.
I'm not that far gone, yet ;)
I am talking about, Matty, Miles and Me.
Miles really started the whole thing.
He stuffs his face in a rose, sniffs real deep and then tears it right off, giggling as he skips way. And truth is, he's so cute, if he loves the roses that much, by golly he should have some.
I just have to tell you about his fave game.
Toss the roses.
HE LOVES this game!
He wishes it could go on all day.
I toss rose petals in the air, and he catches them.
Then gently spits them out :)
You can practically hear him squealing with delight!
After the game is over, he saunters back and forth on his path. Acting like his kingly self. All while Matty runs around like a madman terrorizing the birds. I have not told him he doesn't have wings yet. I don't think I ever will. He jumps very high, he can pretend ;)
I think Matty and Miles are the only people who can stand me right now (did I just type people?). I secretly think I have driven Mister Lovee absolutely bonkers.
I beg him off the porch, urging him to leave his incredibly cozy spot to join me at looking at the flowers "just right."
I say things like, "if you stand right here, just so, and bend your knees like this, and put your head here like this, and then, put your hand over your eyes like that, you won't believe what you will see..."
And he goes -
"I see it Dove, I see it...."
And then I say, but do you really see it?
Look look, if you make a loose fist and look through it, the way the light comes through the trees and just graces the flowers is marvelous. You don't want to miss it. Can you see it?
And he goes
"Yes, oh, yes splendid, beeeaaauuutiful..."
All while he tries to escape back to his cozy seat.
Then I look around for my partner in crime.
And I go, Miiiiiles, look at these flowers, aren't they amazing? Do you realize we live in Arizona? The desert?
And his ears perk up.
Why do his ears perk up, you ask?
Because he totally gets it!
No no, really, he does.
I can tell.
(humor me won't you?)
;)
We begin at the super deep reds...
He walks around with me, acting totally interested.
He knows there are treats at the end of this tour, haha!
Then Mister Lovee walks over and goes, "you know Dove, your garden is looking pretty darn lovely..."
Then I smile.
And continue hanging upside down, knowing that in a week or two, spring rose season will be over. And I will be happy that I savored each moment.
Oh and, by the way...
Tea...
Roses...
Rock!
Don't they?
Thank you for coming down my path, and letting me give you eyeballs full of too many garden pictures.
We have sooooooo many projects going, it isn't even funny.
And, we are getting close enough that I can share some soon.
I just don't like to share things/and or talk about them, until they are done, so that I don't jinx them.
Is that silly?
We have been working ever so hard, plus I have been painting (working on several pieces at once), and a smattering of other good stuff. Which is why I have been a little quiet here, and seemingly behind the scenes mad bonkers.
Off to le poste, and to my projects.
Got to do as much as we can outside before summer hits and oven temps keep us from our chores. So, we are working over time ;)
See you super soon!
