Delight of the Month: February Flowers

If someone asked me to describe the smell and colors of LOVE, my response would be a Red Rose.
This year, this month, my husband Dave and I celebrated our 20 year wedding anniversary. We have shared a life filled with ups and downs, 3 beautiful children, several moves to find our home, careers, frustrations, joys, laughs, and always Love. I still remember the moment I knew Dave was proposing to me. I had followed a series of clues that took me to places we had gone as we were dating, with the final clue leading to Kingsbury Hall in Salt Lake City where we had first met. It was December and I was shivering standing at the top of the stairs leading to the concert hall, just after 10 pm, no one was around and I thought for a moment I had misinterpreted the clue and had gone to the wrong location.
Until I saw a GIANT bouquet of Red and White Roses coming up the steps. The Red to signify Dave(a redhead) and the White to signify me. The bouquet was so large I couldn’t see Dave behind it, but I knew it was him and I knew what my answer would be. I can’t see Red and White bouquets of roses now without remembering how happy I was to say Yes.
So with Love in the air everywhere this month, here is a pretty bouquet of Red and White. I hope if you have the chance you remember to give the one you love flowers this month. They will always be the perfect gift, uncomplicated, delicate, naturally commanding beauty, with the subtle scent of love.
