If the thought of braving the great outdoors in July and August seems less than ideal, turn your creative vision indoors with Elephant Ears, Birds of Paradise and the Audrey Fig. The Peace Rose is a beautiful, fragrant, layered, full-bodied rose. “The colors are romantic, the species are relatively heat tolerant, and the textures provide perfect depth and intrigue,” Halleran notes. Outdoor gardens can make the most of the summer temps with a combination of olives, lavender, rubber trees and agave and Blue Age in particular. “They offer fragrance and color to your spring garden beds.”Īnd while reveling in Texas’ version of spring, it’s wise to start planning ahead for summer. “Salvias, Delphinium, roses, and particularly the Peace Rose, which is a beautiful, fragrant, layered, full-bodied rose, are all great varieties to plant right now,” Halleran tells PaperCity. Thompson + Hanson director of retail division Melissa Halleran advises gardeners to start weeding, cleaning and mulching beds before the planting process, while also keeping color and fragrance in mind. Thompson + Hanson’s River Oaks location has long been one of Houston’s most idyllic spots, but the nursery is also a one-stop shop for plants, flowers, pottery and garden ornaments. So, before April showers bring May flowers, prep those flower beds and plan your own fragrant personal oasis. Fortunately it’s spring in Texas, which is the ideal time to get outside in the comfort (and socially distancing acceptable space) of your own backyard, balcony or patio. Our past often has a nasty way of coming back to haunt us.The need for sunshine and flowers, fresh air and greenery has never felt more important. (Yeah, I explain that in my previous story as well).īut I should have known I couldn’t avoid Taylor forever. Which is pretty good considering my boyfriend is a family friend of his. I had successfully avoided Taylor for five years.
He’s a part of my past – or so I thought. I’ll never forget the time him and I spent together, though I desperately wish I could.īut I know more than anyone that sometimes what you love or want isn’t what you need. Taylor’s smile, what he said, how he touched me…it’s all still so fresh in my mind. I remember that trip to Tulsa like it was yesterday, though I wish I didn’t. The later? Well, one thing led to another I guess…
Hanson stop me in mytracks free#
Feel free to go read it before you dive into this sequel. How did I meet Taylor Hanson, you ask? And more importantly, how the hell did the affair happen? The former – well, I wrote about that in my previous story. What the two of us shared was pretty incredible in its own way, even if it was entirely toxic. It’s byproduct of what Taylor and I shared. I know my boyfriend Ryan would be hurt if he saw I still had it. It’s hidden in one of my dresser drawers, under my socks. I still have the tape Taylor gave me, the note that had accompanied it, with the song on it he wrote about me. I’m a stage manager and pinup model.īack in 2014 I had an affair with Taylor Hanson.Īdmitting this still feels surreal to me. I can't just continue being a "fan" you know? It just all leaves a bad taste in my mouth." I know you have been a fan for a long time, right?" I'll always love their music, but I don't think I could see Taylor ever again. "I mean, I probably won't go to shows anymore. "Are you still going to be a fan? After all this, I mean." Ryan asked. But I still love Hanson fan fiction, and I guess this is just a little gift to all the wonderful friends, fans, and writers I have met though this fandom. A sequel has been swimming around in my mind for a while now so here it is.Īlso like many of us in this fandom, my relationship with Hanson and their music is.complicated after all that's happened. But I loved writing it and people really enjoyed it. I see now looking back it was a flawed story and there were plot aspects that I never really delved into. I wrote "Unexpected Beautiful" in 2014 and originally posted it on Tumblr. Please do not read if you are under the age of 13. Rated PG-13 for language and sexual situations. This is a sequel to my previous story, "Unexpected Beautiful." It is highly recommended you read that before this. This story was written for entertainment only and not for profit. For authenticity's sake, the places described in Tulsa and the surrounding areas are real. All of the characters (except the Hansons, of course) are fictional, and any resemblance to real persons, living or dead is purely coincidental.
