Backyard stuff
I planted 4 roses in our back yard this past weekend. Not Tea Roses, as they are picky and hard to please, but hedge roses and bush roses, guaranteed to be easy keepers.
When I was a little girl, my mom would give me the special tool for cutting roses properly and have me go outside and collect some pretty flowers for dinner (to look at and smell, not to eat!). After I brought the flowers in, Mom woud break off one of the biggest thorns, lick the flat side and stick it on the tip of my nose.
She then called me Bee.
I don't have a little girl, and my little boy is pretty much grown up now, but I do have someone who appears to be interested in being a Bee:
Annie stops to smell the roses - then she eats them.
