Two weeks past the Iowa State Fair. It is the first of September. The roses are gorgeous on the Fairgrounds. Someone must be pampering these beautiful roses.

... Pretty In Pastel.

When I bought these straws, as photo props, I was hoping to find some in bright colours too, but there weren't any.

Rather a good thing for today's theme!

Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.

I hadn't found anything pastel and then these came to mind. I used to love them when I was a child. They had a bit of a fizz to them. All the giggles as you handed them out to friends and they got the 'kiss' or 'marry me', or 'be mine', I think we were only about 8 or 9 years old and had just started going all gooey over boys, A lifetime away when we were all a lot more innocent. I did eat one .............not going to eat another - lol

I will catch up with SoS in the morning, too late for me now as I've just got home at 1 am.

This rose grows on the wall of our house. It's called compassion and has a delightful scent.

Adjacent to the Vandiyur Mariyamman Temple, we saw this. I was reliably informed that they were checking the threads before they were used to make sarees.
