.......or should I say when SEASONS collide....:)
♥
Hi, Ya'll, sure hope all is good on your side of the mountain.All is well here on 15th Street.
I am almost certain these are the last of my beautiful roses for the year.
I don't know the species of THIS particular rose bush.
They have a really big rose..so large, in fact, that they tend to bend over....
♫♪♫...they hung their heads and they cried♪♪♫
I generally cut them as soon as they blossom out before they "cry" and loose all their pretty pink petals.
...don't you love that we have PUMPKINS
and
ROSES at the same time???
Meee, too.
('course..a lot of my pumpkins are
FAUX :)
I found this adorable BLACK pumpkin with the
GLITZ
at HOBBY LOBBY the other day...
all their glam pumpkins were 50% off...just my kind of
PUMPKINS......
The last of the sweet little
KNOCKOUT ROSES...
...sparkly ORANGE is A GOOD THING....
.....BUTTERMILK WAFFLES are also
A GOOD THING.
excuse me while i go back for seconds....:)
...come closer, sniff...don't they smell DELICIOUS ?.....Yes, indeedy....they DO.
Since we've been off REAL sugar in everything from my coffee to
pies, cakes, SYRUP....EVERYthing,
we are truly feeling better.
A little more ENERGY and, believe me, at almost 75 and 78,
just a LITTLE more energy is sooo APPRECIATED. !! haaahahhhaaa
♥
Love and hugs and many kisses,
bj

Glad you still have these beauties to enjoy. Mine have been gone far months. I understand your blog frustration. Some days I want to pull the plug and to heck with it.
Roses and sweet - doesn't get much better than that ;).
I've bid farewell to mine... it's already too cold for them. This Summer was the first I achieved to have some, they'd always die on me, catch all the plagues but this year I had some beauties and fell in love.
I mentioned your blog in my place.
Have a Sweet Weekend,
Teresa
Save some waffles for me ... they look so good. Love the roses. Can't grow them here ... the deer eat them.
Have a great week-end. Doing my yard work today and gotta get back out there.

Hi
Just popping over from Vee's blog. Love your style my sweet new friend! I'm going to follow right along!
Enjoy your weekend!

The roses are beautiful and the waffles look good enough to eat.
Have a lovely weekend!
The roses are wonderful with their pink color and so many petals.
Hi BJ, you still have some pretty roses and to have waffles too, you must be in heaven. I still have one rose bush producing..Happy Friday..Judy
What a cute post, BJ! Your roses are beautiful. My knockouts are still going strong, too! Roses and waffles...what a way to start the weekend! Enjoy!
Your roses are beautiful, and I love the contrast with the black pumpkin! The waffles look tasty and I'll have to try the sugar free syrup. Happy Pink Saturday. ~Marti
The roses are beautiful BJ! Good to hear about the sugar, cutting back sounds like a good thing. Happy Weekend:@)
BJ those roses are absolutely beautiful. The flowers all disappeared from my neck of the woods a couple of weeks ago.
God bless.
BJ,
Your roses are gorgeous!!! Like you, I use to be saddened by the drooping of the heads...until one of my dear blog ladies wrote that at that point the "roses bow their heads in prayer"!!! Gave me a whole new outlook on the drooping rose heads! Now, I smile and remember those who need my prayers!!! Oh, dear friend, you are really running competition with "Mr.Ed" on your waffles!!! Guess I'll have to have him make a batch for breakfast to compare! Have a blessed weekend...ours will be filled with our new adventure!
Fondly,
Pat
Hi BJ~
I have enjoyed your post so much and your blog!! Love the decorated pumpkin and pink roses are my favorite!! It will be sad to see them go, but thankfully they will return in their glory next season. Thank you for the share!
Blessings and Happy Pink Saturday!
I am your newest follower.
PS I just love chocolate! ;0)
The roses are just beautiful. I really like the black pumpkin it is very unusual. The waffles look delicious. Have a blessed evening. Madeline
Lucky you having a few roses to still enjoy! Ours are through blooming 'til next summer. I can just feel how excited I will be to see the first buds!
Your waffles look so good. I haven't made them for a while and that is breakfast tomorrow! I hope I can find the Ihop sugar free syrup...
HPS!

I cut my last rose of the season last week. Love your pretty fluffy rose! Now on to the pumpkins!
Beautiful roses. I still have some blooming too;). I should eat what you eat and do what you do! You look Mahvelous Dahling;). Big hugs
Your roses are beautiful!
My PINK is also a giveaway so come and check it out, you might want to join. Have a great weekend.
The food you make and bake always look SO delicious on your blog! I truly believe you should be a food stylist for a magazine! Good for you staying off the sugar! I try...and then fail miserably. You inspire me!
Such pretty roses! Pumpkins and roses...what a nice combo! Hope you enjoy your weekend, sweet lady!
XO,
Jane
The photos are gorgeous, but my fave is the sugar free IHOP syrup!!! Now I can stop carrying my own supply lo!
hugs
Sandi
Your waffles look SO good, I want some! The roses are beautiful, lucky you to still ahve them. Have a great weekend. We are going to our dinner group tomorrow night and resting and watching football on Sunday. NO unpacking this weekend! XO, Pinky
Ok girlfriend. Quit posting those yummy food pictures. Do you know how much weight I have gained just licking the monitor? (not to mention strange looks)
I have one rose bush that continues to bloom although it should have gone to sleep weeks ago. It amazes me with each new bud. Your table says everyone about what it wonderful at this time of year! ~ Maureen
I love your sparkly pumpkins - they are really pretty :)
Sarah @ A Cat-Like Cusiosity
Like you we have roses and pumpkins at the same time.
Pink and orange, I love it.........I also have some of those glitzy pumpkins, my problem they got to put away with the Christmas decorations and I can't find them. I guess that's one of the problems when seasons collide!
Good for you and the sugar change. We should do that here, anything for a little more energy.

Well here I am reading this before breakfast on a Saturday morning. I WAS going to have a bagel but now I'm thinking waffles..
Go figure...:)
Your roses are beautiful and love that glam pumpkin, but honestly I am reading this post in the morning and have not had breakfast yet and just can't get past those delicious looking waffles. Yummo!
Big Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

Roses, pumpkins and waffles - I don't think it gets much better than that! I had to snip all my roses a week ago when we had an early frost! Sob.

I have never tried that kind of syrup before.
Healthy Pink Snacks
Have an enjoyable Pink Saturday!
Pumpkins and waffles...a great combination. All of your flowers are beautiful. genie
That's my favorite color combo ~ black and white and hot pink.
And BJ, you're so sweet, you just need to put your finger in the batter and swish isn't around!
Oh dear! I'm sorry sweet friend..I somehow lost my comment..Another enjoyable post. I tried the sugar free syrup and ..I'm sorry to say, I didn't like it. I will probably do myself in eating real butter and brown sugar...and real maper syrup.
I don't know what it will take to make me straighten up and do what I'm supposed to do. I try. I do.
But not hard enough.
I LOVE your roses...and I also love them with evergreens. My favorite and it's coming up fast.
Hugs and love, and thank you for your prayers. It's one day at a time...sweet Jesus.
Mona
My table has pumpkins and dahlias, all that is left blooming in my yard. You've created quite a setting for your waffles.
Those waffles sound so good. I will have to have pancakes for tomorrow breakfast...don't have a waffle maker. Pumpkins and Roses sounds kinda like a sound. I still have a few roses blooming.
Very pretty roses and pumpkins!
You made my mouth water! Delicious looking waffles! Great photos! Love your jeweled pumpkin. Thanks for sharing. dix---
Oh BJ...you must be the bestest cook. Balisha
Happy Pink Saturday, my sweet friend.
You've got it all here, BJ. Beautiful roses. Beautiful pumpkins. Beautiful and delicious waffles. I'll have some of each.
the waffles look awesome!

Those waffles look so drooling good. mmmm Wish I could go to IHOP now. I can eat breakfast anytime of day.
Your roses are lovely. I still have some blooming but none as pretty as that pink one.
Have an awesome day!
