Roses!

It seems as though all the pink roses in my back yard are blooming. It's pretty neat. I cut a few to bring inside (and did a little bit of pruning before work - ie I didn't feel like going to work quite yet, so I spent 20 minutes playing in the back yard).

The three on the right are pretty with the two-toned pink, but the one on the left is ridiculously fragrant. I left these on my kitchen table today and came back this evening to the smell of roses, rather than the smell of the leather couches that typically dominates the olfactory experience of entering Joe's house.

I was thinking earlier today that I should leave the new blossoming roses outside since I'm not really home often and they might survive longer on the plant, but it's kind of nice having them inside - it's a good contrast with the random bike parts, tools and electronics that typically litter my kitchen table.
