Roses for Lois

...and for everyone else, too!

Yes, Lois, the wild roses are blooming. I was hoping to get a better picture, but since you are waiting, these will have to do!

Rosebuds add an extra touch to my designs, but it's a tedious process to prepare them. I slice each rosebud, and then use a tweezer to remove the bulky filling.

The picture above shows part of the pile of treasures still to be pressed!
(the "yellow umbrella" flowers on the right will have their own post soon.)
