      Just like the last year, I had a chance to pick up rose flower this year. |

      I felt a little to pick up living beautiful flowers. My close friend Kumiko makes them into dry flower and blends to her tea. | 
| Before picking, I took the record of the flower. The rose bush is in Specialty store Paddington Tea Room's sister garden. | ![]()  |

      Not only the flower pedals, I was presented twigs. My home was filled with the scent of roses. | 
| I put some pedals aside and enjoyed "Rose bathing" by them. I have 
had a good day today. Thank you very much so many flowers.  |
