Good morning, my lovelies! It's National Red Rose Day today, and this quote has always charmed me, because there's something so genuinely lovely about the idea of a garden full of roses as something alive and attentive. To me, it feels very much in keeping with the way the old stories always understood the natural world to be.

Have a Fabulous Friday. Take care and stay safe. 💙
