The smell of flowers

My birthday was over 20 days ago and I can't seem to let go of the flowers (now drooping and dead) that Joe gave me. They still smell amazing! It's such a treat to come into your apartment to the smell of flowers, right? Even if they are no longer, well, pretty.

The bouquet in my office from Olita keeps dwindling down too. Only the long-lasting flowers still stand. The bouquet has definitely seen better days.

Or the pot of roses on my porch last year that took forever to throw away because they were CLEARLY dead. Oh wait, that pot is still out there too. Still rockin' the dead plant. I should probably do something about that too.
