Before going out the door to finish the potting bench, I wanted to wish you all a Happy Valentine's Day.
It's been a long long time since Poppy gave me roses...
He got off work at 5:00 yesterday. I happened to see him walking from the truck toward the front door with one hand behind his back. Never dreaming it could be flowers, I opened the door and asked, what are you holding?
It was a surprise, for me!!
The silly picture is Poppy's fault...I just stopped to smell the roses!
Here's what I dashed out and got Poppy. He will be home today at 2:00...
I know! Who wants a store bought cake! But listen, we have a little country grocery store in town called Carlie C's. Their cakes are delicious, and this coconut/pineapple is Poppy's favorite.
Better go. It is 1:45. Poppy will be here soon. Let me go prop up beside the cake. Maybe he will want to cut it. :)

I did add a few hearts and a little Valentine.

Oh- How sweet of Poppy!!!! I love that he loves you and brings you roses. That cake looks good to me--store bought or not. Hope your day is wonderful!!!! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteGorgeous roses! Delicious looking cake. May you enjoy a beautiful Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteHenny, your roses are beautiful. I'd be happy, too, to get a coconut cake like that one. It looks wonderful to me. I hope your weather is good enough for you to be able to get outside; I know that's what you love to do. It's 61 degrees and sunny here in St. Louis today, but tomorrow should bring up to 4 inches of snow with a high of 29 degrees! I hope this doesn't reach you.
ReplyDeleteHow nice of Poppy to bring you flowers.
ReplyDeleteIt is NOT a silly picture at all. It is quite lovely.
It's good that there can still be surprises in a long, loving relationship.
ReplyDeleteSave a piece for me!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's day!
I go roses today too. We have such sweet husbands! I got him chocolate, but I like your cake idea!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's day. You're a lucky girl to get roses!
ReplyDeleteAw how sweet your poppy was to get you those beautiful roses! And how delicious that pineapple/coconut cake looks...those are my favorite flavors in a cake! Hope you two have had an awesome Valentines Day!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful roses! That was so sweet of Poppy but he knows he is blessed to have you in his life. I bet he loves that cake - it looks yummy! Happy Valentine's Day to you both!
ReplyDeleteoh how delicious - and your roses are exquisite.
ReplyDeletehappy valentines day!
Your red Roses are so beautiful and so are you, my friend. You so seldom appear in any pictures so it's a treat to see you. I know we're the same age but you look so much younger. Maybe all that hard work keeps you looking young.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely picture of you! That's one the entire family will treasure. The new tall table looks just perfect in your beautiful home. I am hoping we may soon get to see the new potting bench.
ReplyDeleteI'm at the back of the queue...AGAIN...! :).
ReplyDeleteLets have a few funnies..off the top of me 'ead...
Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
I finally got a girlfriend,
Now what do I do?
Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
Some poems rhyme,
This one doesn't.
Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
I'm bad at gardening,
And even worse at poetry.
Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
Faces like yours,
Belong in the zoo.
Roses are red,
Here's something new.
Violets are violet,
They're not blue.
(Sorry..best l can do)...
🎶🎶 🎶🎶 🎶🎶
Oh my gosh. I knew I should not have posted that picture of myself. The zoo is exactly right! :) Thank you Willie.
DeleteOh! Is that you sat at the table...
DeleteHang on..l need me spectacles..Ah! That's better..
And there's me..thinking it was..Hillary Clinton..!!! :).
Now wasn't that sweet of Poppy to bring you those beautiful roses for Valentine's Day? I love the picture of you stopping to smell them.
ReplyDeleteYou will have to tell us how he liked his cake...and if he shared. :) I made my hubby some Whoopie Pies and he was delighted!
I love that picture of you Henny, you are a beautiful lady !
ReplyDeleteWell, the roses were a treat, and that cake looks delicious, I can only imagine :)
Your home is so full of beautiful things, I could sit and look at the pictures all day long....
Hugs,
~Jo
I sure wish I could have a slice of Poppy's cake! It looks so tasty!
ReplyDeleteYou deserve flowers. You are a lovely rose.
Aw...that Poppy...full of surprises. And thank him for catching a photo of you enjoying them. We don't see you enough.
ReplyDeleteAs far as that cake, it happens to be a favorite of mine, too. I'd be arm-wrestling him for a slice. Enjoy and have a cup of tea with it. Mmmmmm
How sweet! I got chocolates and funny card ... and a surprise trip to St Augustine, FL. He sure knows the way to my heart!
ReplyDeleteHappy (late) Valentine's to you two love birds :) I'm so glad he snapped that photo of you - you don't often post photos of yourself, and I LOVE your long hair! Very pretty. I wanted Adam to "trim" my long hair the other day, and somehow he ended up cutting off about 5 -6". Yikes!
ReplyDeleteA coconut cake is so yummy, and from a local little store, I bet it's home made and fresh!
Nice cake
ReplyDeleteyour flowers are beautiful and that cake sure looks YUMMY!!! i LOVE COCONUT
