Pretty flowers bring big smiles

So, my birthday was last month, but I didn't get a chance to post these gorgeous roses and flowers! Just before my birthday, I woke up with the sorest throat and swollen glands. By the end of the day, I could not swallow with out wincing and experiencing a lot of pain. Hard to eat, and talk, etc.....a long time ago, when I was a kid, we used to pick up strep throat from the swimming pool, during the summertime. One summer, we kids all had strep throat back to back for an entire month....even poor Momma got sick. I remember we kids getting over it, just in time for our trip to the cabin, up in the mountains. We literally tagged the door of the cabin, and had to turn around and come home, because Mom was so sick with strep throat. Poor thing! Man, we kids were sure bummed out! So yep, you know where I am going with this......my worst fears confirmed, I had strep throat! Where did it come from this time?! Thankfully, I was the only one in the house to get the nasty crud. The month of May came and went, and I hardly had a chance to enjoy my birthday month. My sweet husband brought home these gorgeous red roses, the day before my birthday, and even stopped at this cute little home and garden shop and got a darling little vase (the one with the red roses....there are six little tiny glass vases all in a circle with a metal handle going up the middle of the circle of vases) that I had my eye on for the past year. Now that cheered me up!

Hoping to at least see a glimpse of the sun, since June is here! If I am counting right, I have worn winter sweaters and boots for 8.5 months out of the year. Not normal for this part of the world! Not normal!

We're making the best of it, though.
