This blog of my mother's poems was the favorite for 2 or 3 years!  I posted it 4 years ago on Feb. 12, 2014, just about 3 months after I started this blog.   It was read more times than any at that time.        It came up on Facebook, and I want to share it again!

We tried a black background, and a white one, so I'll put both on.  As you can see, it has a cord, and when plugged in, the roses have a light inside!  A simple thing, but it is a  TRADITION! ! I'm posting this early, and hope you all enjoy this, and your own special people who are your "Valentines"! These photos below are not in any particular order!  Us
