dear brian,

at whole foods, you can get 2 dozen roses for $19.99. i am not a fan of red roses, but other colors, especially when mixed are ok. this special is through 2/14, but i would bet they will be mostly gone by then. it would be ok with me to get the flowers a few days early — i can still enjoy them on valentine’s day

i do really like peonies. they look like this:

thank you for your time,

your wife jamie
