Off-Topic: Stop… And Smell My Roses
By Adam Pick on April 15, 2009
Following heart valve surgery, I learned to slowwwwwww down.
However, given my career and my goals, this wasn’t easy. In fact, at times, it was downright miserable.
One hobby I picked up to help me “slow down” was gardening… More specifically, roses.
Although I’m still learning lots about how to properly grow roses, I’m having the time of my life now that the Spring season is here. Here you can see some of my early bloomers.
Here’s another one:
I took this picture earlier today:
And, the last one:
Remember… Slow down… Take it easy… And, of course, “Stop to smell the roses!”
Keep on tickin!

Hello Adam, those roses are beautiful. I started growing roses last year. I began primarily because my mother loves them so much. After the first year of watching them thrive at my hand of determination to grow roses for my mother, I worked even harder this the second year and now manage of 30 plants, mostly hybrid tea roses with a few floribunda thrown in. I love it and just wanted to share with you my rose story. My email was included, feel free to say hello anytime. |
