~ grateful ~

Today I'm grateful to the former owners of our house who planted the most beautiful roses along the verandah.
They make me smile every time I come home.
They keep our vases full of lovely flowers.
Total bonus - we get compliments from passers-by.
(And they look even better now we have a new roof and a great paint job)

I am also, of course, grateful to Maxabella who hosts grateful posts every week and lets us focus on the little things that make life good.
