- This cottage sits on busy Collier Road near my office - it is vacant right now, but just waiting for the right commercial tenant who might appreciate those beautiful roses.- Women hold up half the sky. - Chinese Proverb. A quote from the book I am currently reading: Half the Sky - Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn.
- A politely worded note on the trash cans back in the printing plant, asking that the remains of any fruit should be tossed into the weeds outside in the back - the way nature intended. Too many flying visitors have been buzzing about inside.

Roses that suddenly appear make the world go 'round. Nothing like a rose. Or a Lynn!!
The Chinese are very wise. I always enjoy an Amy Tan book, interesting stuff about Chinese culture in her books.
Have an awesome one!!

"Women hold up half the sky."

Beautiful quote. And that cottage is gorgeous!
The fruit flies are going to have a feast!
That cottage is lovely! I would move in there in a heartbeat.
lovely cottage.
people should really be more careful with their fruit leavings especially as we enter fruit fly season.

There is nothing like a rose - I agree. Or like a Jannie. :)

So true!
What a nice cottage. I hope the person who finally sees it's beauty will keep up those roses.
Wise move about the flies. Plus you never who else might appreciate a bit of fruit here and there.
Are you enjoying the book? I love proverb!
I love Nicholas Kristof. He is a great advocate for women's rights as human rights.
I'd love to have that place be my office :)
Beautiful cottage! Who wouldn't want to be welcomed home each day by those roses?
Lovely quote...and so true!
I like that cottage, too. :-)
flowers to enlighten
thine clients heart
and draw them right in
is half all they need
half seems to be a favorite word
your half my half
now I want half of yours
Lunch will be served
outside in the back
flies you'd better hurry
before it’s eaten by rats
I hope you helped prune those neglected roses- Love those pink like my Mom used to have! Sounds like a great women's studies book- I did a few semesters of it.
Fruit flies are so hard to get rid of! I wonder what wildlife outside it will attract tho- We get racoons n skunks plus hornets at our work dumpster of food cast-offs- Good Luck!

I'm not very far into it - just a little every day. But yes - right now I'm reading an astounding story of a young woman who had been held captive.
So many books, so little time. :)
Riot Kitty -
That is so cool that you know this author.
And I agree - a great office. Peaceful, I think.

I kept passing those roses and finally stopped to take the photo.

I like that weathered look. I pulled around the back and there is a little patio that looks out on a wooded area. Divine.
Ellis -
lol - yes, we probably haven't thought about the rat issue. Ick.
Thank you for my poem!
Snaggle -
I think part of the problem is that loading dock door - they leave it open a lot.
I'm betting a commercial tenant for that cottage will pull up the rose bush to create the appropriate "business" atmosphere. (Unless it turns out to be a flower shop.)
