Bought strawberries today, along with a couple of herb pot starts for the kitchen. And two lovely rose bushes!!! I hope they grow, they look like a great start for roses. According to the packages, they'll be pretty and smell nice. I miss having roses. I even saw a class available through the community college that lets you work on arrangements for roses and then take that home...I'm thinking about it. Just for kicks. That one or the 'dance with your fear' class for those who really don't know how to dance and are petrified of looking stupid. LOL. That's me. Just have to decide in the next week or so if I want to invest the time and money this term or wait for another one. Whooo!
