Flowers and chocolates 4U

Let’s see. First, Happy Valentine’s Day!
…although which Valetinius was meant to be honored—there were at least fourteen martyred saints of Rome with that name—remains a mystery….
So, bits.
The top photo: recycling at its best, this time from the flower shop. Pick up the petals that fall off the roses while they’re being packaged and otherwise handled, and box ’em up. Then, sell them—six bucks a box, and a modest box at that…. Some of these were a tad brown around the edges….
The vertical photo: we stopped for the first time (seemed like the right day for it!) at Sugar-Coated Radical—an unfancy shop with very nice chocolates—and selected some goodies. I can hardly wait until sundown to taste them!
And, I wanted to note, for the first time in almost/about six years, there’s no Grumbles* in the Sunday Paper. The Sunday Paper (a free weekly here in ATL) went defunct, and, pfft, no publication of Grumbles. I’m proud of my brother-in-law for his long-running weekly strip…. Check out more of his comics are here.
* No saint, no Grumbles…I don’t think there’s a connection….
Today is just an ellipses day….
