my favorite time of year {may}

My favorite time of year. Roses at their peak, and tiny baby fruit just starting to form.

I didn't think there could possibly be any cooking angle to this post (only pretty pictures), but my friend Judy just suggested this rose syrup. So have at it. I might try it too on this lazy Sunday in May. That way I could mix it into a cocktail in August, when the roses are only a memory.
