Nel surprised me with a lovely flower pot this weekend. After she brought it over, I was talking to her for a bit about the types of flowers and plants that I like. I told her that I didn't really like the vegetation in So. Cal - the birds of paradise, the tropical plants, etc. Rather I like the simple and minimal look with roses, peonies, daisies. She said, "oh, more of a French garden." I said, "yes, that's exactly what I like." After visiting for awhile, she went outside, turned on her French music and planted these.
She poured mulch all through the patio area, raked it, and made it look nice. The pot she bought was a cream color, which was a nice contrast with the red roses. Enjoy the song with the pictures.
Thank you Nel,
I really love my red roses.
You deserve flowers on your doorstep
and coffee in the morning.

That was a sweet thing to do! Thanks Nel! I know you will enjoy your rose bush! It has been unbearably hot here. 108 yesterday. I am ready for some Fall weather!(-: Have a great week!
Lovely rose.
Ma chère amie,
This speaks to me (in French and English) so deeply.
I worked a total of 28 years in the areas of learning, studying and teaching French. I am now having to retire from my job due to COVID. There are so many decisions to make this week and your post is gentle and reminds me that God does go wherever any one of us goes. My future is unknown, but I know that the love of God, my love for the French culture, people and language will always fill my heart.
Your roses are stunning. YOU and your Nel and little one are remarkable.
Beautiful roses Sheri...so kind of Nel to give you these....stay safe darling....love Ria 💕🍀🙏💕
The roses with the mulch will add so much charm to your patio area. Such a thoughtful gesture. I adore the photo of the three of you! Absolutely beautiful. I wish you a nice and peaceful week. xoxo

So sweet and beautiful
Planted to music, what a happy plant. Love the colors, just beautiful.
I know it makes your heart sign.
So sweet of her!
This is so sweet Sheri, thank you for sharing the music as well. I enjoyed listening.
Love, Carla
It sure makes you feel loved and special to get treats like this. Enjoy your week my friend! And I'll enjoy the music!
I'm listening to your French Music as I read and write your comment. ♥ Love it.
You have about the nicest daughter in the world. For her to give you time. Get and listen to what is important to you. AWESOME.
The photo of the three of you is just wonderful. All beautiful women.

Sheri, French music, roses and three beauties. So wonderful. I like the same kind of flowers you girls do. Sheri, you do not look old enough to be Nel's mom. LOL. Blessings to all of you. Be safe. xoxo,love, Susie
You have such a kind, sweet, daughter, Sheri! I love the rose Nel planted. I can just bet you will enjoy it in your French garden. I love the photo of the three of you--such a lovely one you should frame.
Hi Sheri, I love that French song, and your pretty red rose. I never thought of roses as a French garden but I love the idea. I hope you find some daisies and maybe some lavender as well for your French garden. We live in a sub-tropical area and many people grow palms etc. However we love our roses and when we went to the south of Franch I was surprised how hot it was - and they have plenty of pretty flowers. Hope you are well and safe dear Sheri.
How nice! I hope your heart was filled with happiness. Have a lovely day.
Oooo a French garden yes! So lovely. What a wonderful job she did.

What a beautiful and adorable post...Made me smile,dear Sheri!Wonderful photo of you!
Surprises like that are wonderful! How loved you must feel.
I hope things have gotten better with your neighbor...I have been praying for the situation to improve.
The rose and the song do go beautifully well together, Sheri, French Garden wins!

The post is lovely and so is Nel -- what a kind thing to do. My favorite part -- the pic of the three of you!
Daughters are good that way - Sons? Not so much. They'd be more apt to bring me over a burger or fries.
What a thoughtful daughter. The red rose is perfection! My daughter now my son would do this, they are so wrapped up in their own heads.
That was so sweet of Nel! Beautiful photo of you all!
Just look at you three sweet girls! How nice that your daughter did that for you. I love it when kids do things they know you will love. Miss having my youngest daughter living so far away. 9 hours now-it was 2 and then went to 6 hours and now is 9 hours.
It looks like you are settled in and doing well. Stay safe- xo Diana
THE RED ROSE WAS THE PERFECT GIFT FOR YOUR LOVELY GARDEN!
How sweet, and what a pretty red rose.
Happy Sunday to you and your family.
Pretty flowers. Red roses are my favorite.
This is such a sweet post Sheri.
Your roses look amazing.
Enjoy and stay safe ♥
