Floral Cheerleaders: Crushing The Rose Game

Eden climber 

I just had a woman shout out praise at me like I was a tennis pro. She and her husband (early 30s) were on a walk, I was in the front yard and she shouted,

“The roses are blooming!

I wait for them every year.

You are crushing the rose game!”

David Austin, Lady of Shalott

Can you imagine how good I felt? To hear that someone else anticipates my roses blooming. And that they wanted to encourage me with praise like crushing it.

I've always considered myself a floral cheerleader, but I've never had one for myself. It feels amazing.

High Praise: Happy Comments About Paris: Delight in the City of Light

(Gazing out the enormous clock at the Musee D'Orsay)

Ooh la la! I ship a lot of my books out inscribed as gifts but I don't always hear back about what my readers thought. Today I received the nicest feedback on Amazon for my book Paris: Delight in the City of Light. My book is a soft-cover modern coffee table book devoted to PARIS. Enjoy 120 pages of full-color photographs on every page, including addresses & websites of my favorite places in Paris.

Anne Reeves is just as delightful as her book. The book, Paris - Delight in the City was a nice pick me up for the February blahs, and it came wrapped in beautiful pink tissue accompanied by a Paris themed personal note which I plan to save because it was so pretty.
