This week’s flowers require a special explanation.  I ran the Baltimore Women’s 5k this past weekend, for the fourth year in a row.  I love this race for many reasons, not the least of which being that at the finish line there are handsome men handing out ice cold towels and roses.  I freely admit to scoping out the guy with the prettiest, perky-ist roses.  That little rose in the middle was my handsome man handout!  For reference, it’s regular flower-shop rose-sized, i.e. top-to-bottom, it’s about the size of your palm.  I felt pretty spiffy carrying it around downtown all morning.  Enter the other three – my Tuesday surprise from My Guy. “To keep your other one company”, he said.  See how they match?  Ridiculously and fortuitously cute, no?  For more reference, they are about the size of my outstretched hand.  Or appetizer plates.  (Really, I think My Guy was trying to say something there, don’t you?)  They’re amazing!
