Dream fulfilled

When I was in my forties I always saw myself, when retired, living in an English cottage surrounded by a garden with  lots of roses and other flowers.
To make the cliché complete I saw myself in a floral dress, a big hat on my head and cutting flowers into a basket, all very civilized.
Well, I managed to have part of it : the flower garden. Enough to always have a beautiful bouquet in the house. The English cottage became an American house and my floral dress is mostly replaced by old jeans... :-)
