"Now is come the month of roses!" - Ruben Dario
















"One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today". ~Dale Carnegie

With no help from me, these beauties are growing in my yard. The yellow rose is a "Graham Thomas" rose (family names on my side -- a wonderful coincidence!) given to me for my birthday a couple of years ago by my pic, Sherry. The pink rose is a "Nicole" rose purchased by me from QVC -- yes, QVC!

Thank you kindly.
It's amazing that they were able to grow at all considering all the weeds around them. I almost didn't notice the pink one!
Martha would be so proud of me.
Not.

Beautiful! Not only the flowers but the saying. Makes you sit back and think.
