This morning, apparently, we got a light rain shower. And the roses were SOOOOOO pretty I had to take more pictures before work. So between 930am & 1010am, took some pictures & harvested enough blooms for 3 bouquets (1 for me, 1 for bossman's wife, 1 for coworker's fiance.. other coworker doesn't have a GF).
