We are off to the market a bit later than usual today. We noticed one of our roses in full bloom, with a background of cumulus clouds and mountains in the distance. It reminded us of quote by Henry David Thoreau.
“It is better to have your head in the clouds, and know where you are... than to breathe the clearer atmosphere below them, and think that you are in paradise.”

Wishing you all an abundance of Saturday Smiles and a great day ahead!

Sheila Anderson I usually cut the long stemmed ones for the house, and this one was so tall (tree rose) that I left it alone. It sure made a wonderful photo. A

Happy Saturday, Ron and Alexandra- love the very thought-provoking quote.
Morning Alexandra.
Our next flight will be in November, followed by another one in February. Personally I would like to drive to those locations. We miss so many great sights by flying above the clouds.
What a lovely photo that is, Alexandra. Love the vivid pink against that sky.
