Carnations have always been my favorite flower, especially for their fragrance. I was happy to score a deeply discounted bundle of them. Over a week from my purchase they still smell wonderful and their pale pink petals remain looking fresh.

I divided them between two containers because the perfectly sized plastic vase was nowhere to be find. ~shakes head~ It’s so typical of me. Some went into a little sake server and I think look rather elegant. The others in a clear glass appear rather like something Dr. Suess might envision.

In a short answer to a few queries about current space flight experiments, goals include building a permanent station on our moon and, eventually, Mars. Whether you believe it or not, humanity is getting closer with every test flight. It’s doubtful either my husband or I will be alive to witness a Mars occupation but we are enjoying the process.
If you have even the least bit of interest you should check out at least one launch. Modern camera technology provides stunning and fascinating views. There are several companies like Blue Origin and SpaceX making great strides.
My apology is to Strayer, whose content I devour. Currently, not one web browser out of the four on my laptop allow me to comment. For whatever reason, each one shows an error stating I cannot sign into Google. ~scratches head~ Fingers crossed, perhaps my tech savvy husband can help.
Do you have a favorite fragrance? Are you aware that our olfactory senses are purported to store the strongest memories?

Lovely flowers. I have a very sensitive nose and most fragrances make me sneeze. So I prefer natural smells, the smell of coffee or grass after the rain or baking.
ReplyDeleteHello Darla, your photos of the Carnations are gorgeous! Happy Memorial Day to you!
ReplyDeleteA favourite fragrance....I love the fragrance of lilacs!!! I also love lavender. I find both to be very pleasant and soothing.
I definitely agree with our olfactory senses are said to store the strongest memories!
Flowers, perfume, food, etc. This is so true!
Thank you so much for sharing, dear friend. I hope you have a wonder filled week ahead!
Those flowers sure are pretty, I don't remember seeing any of those before.
ReplyDeleteHow weird that you can't sign in to Google. I think they did some update and that might have made things glitchy. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteI agree about scents, some good some bad but they all seem to bring memories.
ReplyDeleteThat happened to me for awhile, and I couldn't even comment on my own blog with replies. I don't remember how I fixed it or if it just suddenly went back to normal. Thanks for the space exploration info. I remember when the moon landing happened. We were camping at Honeyman State Park and went to a gas station in Florence to watch it on a tiny TV up in the corner of the station, which was crowded with other patrons watching.
ReplyDeleteI love carnations too. Pink ones are most beautiful. Pink happens to be my favorite color.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week. Hugs. ♥
Interesting to know about fragrances.
ReplyDeleteCarnations are my favorites too. Yours look great. My hubby loves all things space. We used to watch a fictional show about a colony on Mars. I can't remember the name though. XO
