Sometimes I stop, stunned suddenly to discover dazzling things the existence of which I never suspected. {Monet}

Daily life - Love/hate relationships

Dining room
Nikon D300 50mm iso200
I have a love/hate relationship w/ both roses and coffee ... They're both so yummy, but for different reasons cause me grief. Roses - As long-time visitors and friends know, I inherited a number (read: 50) roses bushes when I moved into my house and their daily care requirements were so time consuming I eventually gave up and tried to kill them through neglect. Unfortunately, they're still growing strong, though not as tidily (<-- major understatement). Coffee - well, I have a low tolerance for caffeine and w/ my one measly cup a day I can't go w/out or endure terrible withdrawal headaches that last for days ... lol.
