The Home Stretch

If you are looking for me today, you can find me curled up on the couch with my laptop, under a down throw, with a couple of critters snuggled up with me ... as I work on the final details of the program that I am giving at the Heritage Rose Foundation conference in Lakeland, Florida next weekend.



Because of everything else that I have had to attend to for the past few weeks, I got what I think is a late start on the actual mechanical part of writing and organizing and putting photos and text into PowerPoint.  Fortunately, this thing has been writing itself in my head for months and this last part of the process is going really smoothly. 

I try to do flowers on Fridays ... so here is another slide from my program, with one of my favorite roses in Hollywood Cemetery.



Time for me to get back to work!

Happy Friday, Everyone!!

  1. I purchased Safrano at the Antique Rose Emporium this past weekend. I was inspired after seeing it online and then seeing a friend's large Safrano. It is lovely.

    Wish I was going to Lakeland!

  2. On the couch with a blankie sounds like a great place to be when doing computer work... hot chocolate too?

  3. Safrano looks indeed like a beautiful rose! Must be very cosy working on the couch under a throw with some lovely critters.

  4. Your presentation will be outstanding. Your knowledge of roses can't be beat so you just talk about what you know best. Have a great trip.

  7. How I wish I could attend your program, Connie. I know it will be exceptional. And definitely warmer than here where the throw and fireside are a necessity. P. x

  8. Miss the days of stacking slides into their piles, then putting them together like a movie.

    Finally enjoy the powerpoint process.

    It begins in my conservatory !!

    Garden & Be Well, XO T

  9. I read the article this week in the November issue of Rose Letter, published by the Heritage Rose Group. It is a very interesting article of your efforts with the Hollywood Cemetery. My wife and I are looking forward to your presentation in Lakeland.
