I noticed a lot of people searching this blog for “ketchup mustard rose.” I figured since I wrote an article on the preferences of most people for either ketchup or mustard on National Mustard Day 2010, combined with the title of the blog – “Rose Cottage Ltd,” that Google was just confused.

Posting this cheery image for those still suffering through winter weather. The official first day of Spring is coming – you just have to hang in there until March 20th!

Some cool blue tones for the TGIF photo this week…

Not sure about keeping the doctor away, but it sure adds to this highly-scented time of year! Beautiful color to welcome approaching Summer…
