Well, now that Valentine's Day is over, what are we supposed to do with all these damn roses? They're obviously not going to stick around for long. Plus, dried flowers are a bit depressing.
Or are they? According to this website, you can do many things with dried rose petals, from potpourri to bath tea. Bath tea? Read the website, I don't have time to explain it to you.
In any event, watching flowers given out of love die doesn't have to be a metaphor for your relationship.
One thing that won't dry up & crumble away is this year's Valentine's show for Self Help Radio, which was about roses. If you want to think of lost love, or never-gained love, or just roses, this is the show for you. In addition to bouquets of tunes, there's interviews with a spiritual dude, a rose vendor, & a Dr. Love.
The show is coming up roses over at the Self Help Radio website. You'll need a username & password to listen, but it's there, on the page. The show is in two parts, & the songs & other things in each part is listed below.
Happy Valentine's Day!
