Watching the Petals Open

SP rang in the New Year, in part, by bringing me these beautiful red and white roses. They lasted forever...more than two weeks. This picture was taken on the 11th, and they were still gorgeous. We had a romantic New Year at home.

My modem died the first week of the year and I just finally got someone to replace it today. Time Warner Cable in Racine took forever, and they were at my house forever, too. I nearly missed the swearing in of Obama as they tried to fix my network problems. Alas, I'm back and ready to post in 2009.

If those roses are any indication of how the year is going to go, I am looking forward to watching each petal bloom and open.
