What a fantastic place to hold a wedding.<br /><br />Seeing all those roses, and you mentioning not knowing the names of all of them reminded me of one of my favorite quotes attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt. I think you might get a kick out of it. She said, "I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a bed, but fine up against a wall."<br /><br />Take care.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-71646892342993631672014-03-29T01:05:22.897+11:002014-03-29T01:05:22.897+11:00It's amazing how beautiful things bloom during...It's amazing how beautiful things bloom during this time of year for you --- it's autumn now, right?
