    I love the colorful banners. It does look like a great agricultural area. Yummy. I didn't know about the Pink Roses. Interesting. I will research that.
    Have a great week

    Rose Water????
    It isn't quite the same, but once i was in a "Persian Restaurant" - in Saint Louis. I was there to cheer on a musician friend. The menu taught about some of the food and offered Rose Ice Cream . . Only tasted it just that once . . . Truly memorable. (yes, even smelled exactly like roses.)

    Susie - you live in a place that is full of contrasts and contradictions! I find it fascinating! The fruit looks delicious, especially the mango. Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!
