Good Morning Weekend!

Up early to the sun streaming in and warming up the wet and slightly chilly morning. Supposed to be in the low 70's today. Have cleaning to do (so much more bearable with screened doors and windows open). Ali is coming over this afternoon to do a shoot of the keys that my Dad sent as well as of Chateau Gahan.

A few flower arrangements around the house made from $5 a dozen roses from Kroger. (All you have to do is tear off the rotted petals and then puff some air into the flower to make it fill out. Voila . . . expensive roses.) The red rose arrangement is augmented with artificial what I believe are begonia carnations. While I would love to have huge bouquets of flowers everywhere, I can create the decadent feel of a house full of fresh flowers by combining real with artificial, as long as the artificial ones aren't too fake looking.
