roses

did you know tyler is the rose capital of the world?

this time of year you can buy them by the dozens off most street corners in town. they come wrapped in newspapers, & you do have to watch the thorns. the best part is that they have THE most amazing smell. i'm talking about the kind of scent you catch just walking by. and the dreamy colors...

this is the stuff of childhood memories for me.

2 tyler roses themselves came into town tuesday and brought these to me! thanks margaret & mere :)
