Flying to America

I have felt so sad lately, because of a big loss in my life, so I have not felt much like blogging, even though I have been taking many nice pictures of all plants flowering. I am packing my suitcases to go to Copenhagen and meet a friend and his family tomorrow. Early Sunday morning (5 AM) I need to take the train to the airport and head for Salt Lake City, with layovers in London and Chicago. Quite a long 24 hour journey. I look forward seeing some friends and gardens over there, but mostly I look forward seeing the mountains since I live in such a flat country with small hills only. I sure hope not to encounter a red tape immigration officer and customs checking my caviar with a very suspicious look again. But I am not bringing any this time. I hope I feel better when I am back home again. Tomorrow before I leave I will go into my garden and smell some of the most fragrant roses. And perhaps pick some to bring for the journey to cheer me up. I just have to toss them on the plane since it is illegal to bring any plant and fruit into the US.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Perhaps the distraction of the trip will help.

I'm also sorry for your loss--and I wish you a good, healing time in the mountains. The weather is still beautiful for them...maybe someone will benefit too from the roses you had to leave on the plane.

K, I am so very sorry. It is surely hard to feel energized when we have a loss. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the mountains and all the different smells you'll encounter here and then return to your beautiful roses all refreshed. Warmest wishes for a safe and stress free trip,
