Stop to Smell the Roses

C'est cliché, I know. But here at PPAD we do, are accused of always having done, and I expect we always will - stop to smell the roses - literally. Especially here in Pueblo. We could start a whole other blog on Pueblo's roses alone. Pueblo-ans love their roses! No matter what neighborhood, no matter if you are in a well manicured yard, or a yard with only dirt, you will most assuredly not go far without seeing a rose bush! It makes me want to use an old Southern exclamation, "This town has more roses than you can shake a stick at!".  So while we can sometimes hardly get a good pace on our usual "wog" because we stop so often to swoon at rose buds, we thought we'd celebrate these lovely flowers and all flowers of the city before our heat streak does them all in. Forgive us if we get out of hand in the coming weeks, and flower photos start to bore you. We however, think its good for our hearts to stop and gaze at a sweet blossom on a regular basis...
