Happy Autumn



As the fields outside are filled with goldenrod, and the autumnal equinox approaches, bringing that golden light inside seems perfectly natural. We are creatures of the light, and we respond almost instinctively to golden flowers.

So, because the past few days were cool and rainy, a bunch of yellow roses came home from the supermarket with me.





It makes perfect sense, right? ;)

Happy almost-autumn, dear bloggers!

    Love small roses like these and yours are beautiful. I just brought home white roses touched with green. Happy Fall!

    Lovely spot of sunshine on a gloomy day. We are so lucky to be able to just pop into the supermarket and bring home a bundle of colour. For me it's orange roses at this time of year.

    I adore golden flowers--and the turning of the season. Such spectacular light, as is evident in your lovely photographs. The engagement ring my husband gave me is an antique cocktail ring with a golden citron stone, to commemorate the field of goldenrod where he proposed one late-summer evening. So romantic.

    You so just talked me into going out today to buy myself some yellow roses! Thing is I just can't buy flowers unless I clean the house first:(
