I have been blessed with a couple of action-packed days with a visit from a daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter. Yesterday we walked around the Legislature, smelling the roses. Literally smelling as many roses as we could!
Watching an innocent child discover things that we just seem to take for granted was a reminder for me to slow down, and keep reshaping my priorities. This lovely rose garden is less than 5 minutes walk from my home, yet I rarely experience the beauty of it, and this is the first time in the 8 years since I moved here that I have taken the time to smell the roses.
This afternoon we will spend some time at a world-famous garden, with more rose-sniffing.
Reflections 
How wonderful!
