My Hubs and I have been married 34 years as of Dec. I told him he need not spend the money last week and told him to bring me some 3.99 bouquet from the grocery. He did that, hid roses in our garage fridge and gave me roses on Valentine's Day.

I got roses, too, but mine are not quite as...exquisite...as yours. Let me explain. Fred and I had agreed we wouldn't exchange Valentines. We (read: I) went way overboard on Christmas, and we're actively saving for retirement. (Read: That old miser is hoarding every penny he can get his hands on.) But he knows how much I love roses, (read: we had a fight, and he knew he was wrong) so he ordered a dozen mixed, in a vase, from a reputable company I've used many times. Only he didn't want to pay the extra charge to have them delivered over Valentine's Day weekend. (Read: see miser remark above.) So he had them delivered TUESDAY. TUESDAY, you hear? He put the box, hidden, UNOPENED, in the basement, ON TUESDAY, and brought it out on SUNDAY NIGHT. Yeah, Valentine's NIGHT, for maximum effect, if you know what I mean. Those roses fell out of that box one petal at a time. "Your roses will need water immediately upon arrival," the instructions said. I salvaged them as best I could. Some have five or six petals, some have three; the red ones seem to have fared best with maybe nine or ten petals remaining. The baby's breath is pretty, but those roses' days are numbered. You did good, Jay. Count yourself lucky, and give your husband a big old kiss from me for his thoughtfulness. .-= ethelmaepotter´s last blog ..<a href="http://ethelmaepotterweneverforgother.blogspot.com/2010/02/fresh-veggies-in-snow.html" rel="nofollow">Fresh Veggies in the Snow</a> =-.

Your hubs is a keeper! Those roses are gorgeous!! One year my hubs surprised me but our weather was MUCH warmer that February so he was able to keep them in the car overnight. He went out on travel ON Valentine's Day and left in the wee hours. I woke up and stumbled into the kitchen to find the scent of his love. This year, he re-gifted something that is a joke between us.
