Call it winter blues....call it spring planning....call it on-line shopping addiction; I just ordered 9 Iceberg Roses (bare root). Depending on where you live, the time to plant bare root roses is very soon...if not now.
If you are not familiar with bare root roses, they come like this
Don't be scared, it is not dead and if planted properly, this will become a stunner in your garden. When mine arrive, I will do a tutorial on how I plant them. In the mean time, lets look at how lovely white is in the garden.

...Well, not exactly! I am actually trying to make a decision for my dining room. I need to decide on a color combination. I have found that the best place for color combinations, color schemes, and color stories are on wedding sites! Let me tell you, the brides of today are ON IT!! Those ladies are organized, and the searches are unlimited. They are also "pinning" away.
So, with the help of pinterest, and all of the wonderfully organized brides, would you please help me decide on a dining room color combination? Here is my dilemma
Option 1: Burgundy & teal
OR...Option 2: Burgundy & green
Do you have a favorite? Does either of these color combinations speak to you?

On this Wednesday,I'm indulging in some memories from June 25th,the wedding of our daughter Alida and her Josh.Alida loves children, so young relatives were invited, and welcome.
 |
| Aine and her brother Eoin checking out the ballroom while the other guests are still at the cocktail hour. |
 |
| Andrew! What a tall date you have! |
 |
My nephew with two of his beautiful daughters, Sarah and Emily.
I was in college when this Daddy was born, and he was ring bearer at our wedding. |
 |
| Eoin gets a smooch from Mommy. |
 |
| 3-year old Mary makes a couple of conquests. |
 |
| Look in the lower right hand corner -- the youngest guest! Month-old Christopher. |
 |
| Looks like Emily's trying to convince Aine of something-or-other. |
 |
| With everyone else in the ballroom, the cocktail room is a great quiet hangout. |
 |
| Aine, just resting for a moment. |
 |
| No wonder Andrew gets all the girls. |
 |
Do you remember how TALL brides seemed when you were pint-sized?
They seemed like endless towers of white. Or, was that just me? |
 |
| It helps when they come down to your level. |
 |
My brother and his wife, boogeying with two of their 8 grands.
Don't you think they are greedy to have so many grands when I have none? :-) |
 |
| Andrew, what are you thinking in that 2-year old head? And where do you get those tiny ties? |
 |
Me to the Bride: Stay away from the chocolate fountain!
Emily has gone for the Bananas Foster, a big hit at the dessert buffet. Love the dessert chef in his stylish hat! |
 |
| Alida feeds Josh some of her Bananas Foster. Now that is True Love; Alida doesn't share desserts lightly. |
 |
| Mr. and Mrs. |
 |
| Because, yes, we all had a great time, the children had a blast, but this was at the heart of it all. |
To Alida and Josh,
and to all the other brides and grooms of this summer,
I cannot say it better than Howard's parents did,
on the Wish Tree at the reception:
May you all continue to be blessed
for a long, long time. -- Cass
