of the heavens
and ocean waters too-
but  rarely ..is a flower

I believe there was an old movie called the Blue Rose, one of those awesome Sinbad movies, or maybe there was a blue rose in it and it is what I remember. The hero telling his love, when he could not find the blue rose, if you really love me, this rose will turn blue - and it did of course! : )). Brian, you pulled on my heart strings with that last comment. Too sweet, thank you so. The move is going awful and the contract keeps changing and getting extended : (. We shall see. Hugs xoxox

I love the patterns of blue china made in Russia at the time of czar Nicolas. Beautiful work and yes it is hard to find a blue flower that matches the ocean or the sky. God Bless Phyl
