PROMPT January 18th ▼

It’s Show and Tell Day here at the 30DBC! Think of an item that is special to you (it may help if you are able to see your chosen item while you write your entry). Describe it in as much detail as possible. Then, tell us its story. How did it come to be in your life and what makes it important to you?

On my dining table, there is a bouquet of fresh-cut roses. They are fragrant and vibrant. There are winter white and rose pink blossoms, seven of each, fourteen in all. The buds are casually arranged in a clear wide glass vase. They have no particular meaning. I just enjoy fresh cut flowers in my home and depending on the season, the availability in my garden or the affordability from the store, I replace them weekly.

Right now, because of the cold, there are only holly berries and white crocus in my garden. I decided they needed to stay there. The grocery store I frequent had a special of seven roses for "$5.00 Friday". I bought two of the specials and combined the colors. Having had a long autumn with hues of gold and orange, then preparing for Christmas with everything red and green, I wanted to introduce a different vibe into my home, hence the rose pink and a homage to winter, white. They bring me joy.
