I am far from being a morning person. Unless there is a large iced coffee with a dollop (very precise measurement) of half n half and 2 teaspoons raw sugar staring me square in the face upon wake up it takes quite a while to get my brain functioning normally. So, it is a treat to see these beautiful red roses when I open my eyes. Flowers, with their vibrant colors and intoxicating scents, can liven up any room. When given by the right person, they become something more valuable; something you try your hardest to stall the inevitable 3-5 day demise... in this case, they have become my morning inspiration.
