the only thing that goes better with basil than tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, is roses

There was no trip to the market this weekend since I won't be here to eat a week's worth of produce.  I settled for looking lovingly at my tomatoes.  Including this one that will be ready for picking before I get back I am thinking.  I hate to miss the first BLT of the season with our tomatoes but I will make do.  In Stockholm.  Eating something Swedish.  And delicious. 

I made a nice little arrangement for the table with my roses.

There is something very sweet about your own roses.  In your mother-in-law's vase, on your mom's tablecloth, resting on the table that Great Aunt Alice refinished. 

Then I added some basil.

Because the only thing that goes better with basil than tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, is roses.

I LOVE adding the unexpected to flower arrangements. I saw one last year with some dill and it was just lovely! Have a safe and joyful trip!
