Roses, Roses, and More Roses

Last week, in the haze of Valentine's Day consumerism, it was time to hit up local florists and see just how busy they were. I found a really nice little flower shop that let me stand around as long as I wanted and even freeze in the flower cooler. The woman assembling most of the rose arrangements summed it up best when I asked her how busy it gets. "There are a lot of people in love out there," she said with a smile. And she dreams of making the arrangements in her sleep.
