    I love your quote. I named my nephew after Ralph Waldo Emerson! My sister wanted an E name, and I've always liked reading his writings.

    Incredibly fresh, Funny how fragrant silken petals can make us forget about lurking thorns and rose hips in the making. Yes even roses age, but their fruit contains high levels of vitamin C which helps humans defy age or at least hold its effects at bay.
