A Rose in a Vase Full of Roses

The roses in Mr. Hunter's garden are in full bloom,

so when he saw this bouquet, Mr. H

 tucked himself in with the Yves Piagets, the Cecile Brunners, 

and the other spring astonishments.

I wouldn't mind being a rose
in a field full of roses. 

Fear has not yet occurred to them, nor ambition.
Reason they have not yet thought of.
Neither do they ask themselves how long they must be roses, and then what.
Or any other foolish question.

Hall of Fame: Headstanding with Amey

Love this!  Amey thought that Mr. Hunter might want to practice some yoga with her, so they both inverted themselves for a bit of headstand.

No yoga mats or blankets required... even though it was a rainy afternoon!

In Bloom

Mr. Hunter has been enjoying the flowers as we head into Spring.

Magnolia tree.

Calla lily and camellia.

More magnolia.
