Hello everyone. It's Magical Mondays, and I thought I would share my new kitchen roses with you! The one in my header photo had just about had it after so many years. They are miniature and I love the light pink colour. Hopefully it will last for many years as the old one did!
We were going to a dinner party on the weekend and I decided to buy some red ones for the hostess. It was perfect for the season too. Then I noticed these pink ones and decided to get them to replace the old ones. The dinner party was lovely. Everyone is in their fifties now. We are dealing with miscellaneous health problems, and thinking about retirement. Our kids are growing up so fast as I keep saying. In fact, K drove himself to his tennis lesson as usual that evening while we went out. And he just told me he wants to give a rose to a girl at school on Valentine's Day. Nothing serious, he just said he wasn't ready for that last year but that this year he is!
L and her friends at school barbecued delicious ribs for their dinner on the weekend. Her friend googled a recipe! So they wrapped the plain ribs in foil and baked them at 325F for 1 1/2 hours. Then they slathered lots of barbecue sauce on top and barbecued them! I will have to try this method.

It's amazing how flowers will just magically perk you up. I've never tried cooking ribs that way. Very interesting!
I retired when I turned 55 and turned to writing and publishing when I got bored. Now that I write a daily blog, my interest in writing books has diminished considerably. Those pink roses are beautiful.
The food sounds good. Glad your plants last so long, mine don't! Hugs, Valerie
You know, at 50 on end, that's all we talk about, the pain and the ache, and the health problem, and wondering where the time went.

Hi Christine, thank you for your comment on my "Stone Barn". When I had my farmette out in McHenry, IL before my oil painting days and a townhouse, my favorite hobby was my yard. I bought some mini roses one year and painted them outside in a semi-sunny area and they bloomed all summer, even though I had bought them at the grocery store!
