Sometimes in the later afternoon light, I get the photos of my roses that seem a little special if to no one but me. I think this is one of my favorite photos. I love the color! And finally, someone just needs to hit me for being silly but I have to say this: I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden. Along with the sunshine, there’s gotta be a little rain sometimes. When you take, you gotta give, so live and let live, or let go. I think Lynn Anderson sang this song. (smile)

Okay, you can at least be glad I did not quote Shakespeare! A rose by any other name . . . .
