Maybe an omen of good things to come?

Or, maybe a celestial Spring greeting from my sister. She was the one who got me into gardening. And this is from my pink rose bush. She went full tilt into the Pink color scheme, after her breast cancer diagnosis.

I was gifted with many pink items of clothing after my diagnosis

That’s cool to think it may have come from your sis. Nature works in mysterious ways sometimes!

from your sister was the first thing I thought of when I saw the pic.

How very sweet. What a treasure.

YAY!

When we moved into our house 15 years ago we had a scrawny, ugly rose bush with a few stalks. I wanted to pull it out, but my wife decided to save it. Now after all this time it's STILL scrawny and ugly, but we get about 20 roses each year, 5-6 at a time through the fall.

Nature, and hope endures.

It was making a valiant effort at pulling a worm out of the front lawn.

But in the mud and scum of things
there always, always something sings.

~peace~

Thank you for sharing it!

fall and someone had trimmed all the rose bushes. There were hundreds and hundreds of perfect stemmed roses on the ground. I went home and got a garbage bag and scisors and started filling it. They were every colour you could imagine. Other ladies soon joined me.Then I brought them home and made bouquets and hung some of them to dry.
