A Mere $5.99

Now I ask you, when everything surrounding you looks like this.....


Wouldn't you rather look at this?  ...a mere $5.99 from Trader Joe's brings that color we crave






I think I may have become a little carried away by all this orange & yellow beauty.

"If you always do what interests you, at least one person is pleased."   ~Katharine Hepburn

 Until next time....

    Oh, those roses are amazing! I'm soon going to be looking at that same colourless landscape...

    Colourless landscape? I love it, much better than facing rain, rain ,rain and being flooded I'd say. The roses are wonderful as well.

    That first shot is gorgeous but after being home bound from too much snow I understand where you are coming from....The roses are gorgeous and what did we do before we had Trader Joe's.......

    Oh Deanna, all you really needed to do is work some of your texture magic on that top one and it would have been gorgeous. ;-)

    That is a gorgeous rose! I don't think I've ever seen that color before. And, yes ... cut flowers from TJ's or the grocery help me in winter to keep what little sanity I have left. Thank you for your bursts of color today ... eye candy.

    Definitely Which means without a doubt.... the sun is shinning bright here but I couldn't resist the orange tulips at the grocery today. Very beautiful.

    Gorgeous roses and at a great price! Wish there was a Trader Joe's near me. I am really tired of looking at the colorless landscape around here.

    Exactly why I get flowers from the Manager's Special cart each week - color, an amazing thing for one's spirit.

    Thinking of you on V-Day, Deanna - thanks for the burst of color, though that stark landscape looks perfect, too. I'm about to head into the forest on my touring skis - the sun is shining, new snow glistening, and the trail beckoning.

    $5.99 very well spent. I like the blue jar/vase too.
