LOVE IS IN THE AIR TODAY

I ask you, what more can an 82-year-old wife ask for than to have her 84-year-old husband arrive home with a lovely bunch of carnations and wish her "Happy Valentine's Day".  It was a lovely surprise and I can smell the perfume of the flowers drift across our living room as I sit there.


I perhaps could have taken this photo in a better place than on our kitchen sink but there you are, that's just me.   I was so delighted I just had to take a snap of them while they looked so pretty and fresh.

Thanks you Phil and for loving me still after all these years.

P.S.  At least the sink is nice and clean.  : )

  2. How gorgeous. I am so happy that he appreciates you for the wonderful woman you are - and that you appreciate the wonderful man he is. Win/win.

    1. Yep, just like Darby and Joan I guess. We know each other's shortcomings, accept them and get on with our lives. It's the only way when you intend to spend the rest of your lives together.

  3. This is so sweet Mimsie, you and Phil have a love to treasure. Carnations were my dad's favourite, they're beautiful.

    1. I love carnations. I like roses too but I find the perfume of carnations much more pleasurable and these were the old fashioned type that really do have a wonderful perfume.
      I do realise how lucky we are to have each other, especially at our age.

    ...I was so busy admiring the flowers I never even noticed the placing!! Carnations are one of my faves - indeed they are a family flower, grown by several aunts and uncles. In the language of flowers they represent admiration and enduring love...which is why they are often the standard for wedding corsages!! Two lucky people over there. Big hugs from over here. YAM xx

    1. Thanks Yam. I have taken pieces of these carnations and am hopeful of perhaps getting them to strike. In our hot weather it may be difficult but worth a try. I've not grown carnations for years and I would have them in pots, easier to look after. xxx

    1. Yes, in his own quiet way I guess he does. I know he's always there for me even when I do stupid things like ruin our kitchen....and still he gives me flowers.
