Flowers

This is the view from my kitchen sink. It makes the whole room feel like spring. I feel deeply privileged to have so many beautiful roses 🌹 in my home. They also remind me of my mother who used to grow beautiful roses. As a child I was constantly waging summer time war with Japanese beetles 🪲. Mom would give me a can of kerosene and promise me a penny for every beetle corpse. When candy bars and ice cream man treats cost a nickel and kids paid a quarter for the movies pennies still had purchasing power.
