A Cascade Of Roses

 

The view from my chair.

Right now sooo busy, a summertime frenzy of activity around here.  And as I eat my meals from my chair at the dinner table I am looking out at a rose bush that My Rebecca planted decades ago.  It so totally loves it in that spot that it outgrows the ability of the deer to eat it.  It outgrows my ability to civilize it as it climbs all over anything around.  I do my best to keep it from coming in the door and occupying our living room.  It is the very definition of happy plant!

And there it is now in the midst of it’s summer flowering right out the window from my chair at the dinner table.   Actually it is a little over it’s prime which was probably a week ago.  But that is making my point.  Am I, are we appreciating the many blessings around us?  Here is this crazy wonderful rose that is basically shouting at me to take a minute and appreciate before it goes into it’s fall and eventual winter.  Right now sooo busy.  Yes but, take a minute, some of the best things are sooo fleeting.

Catch’em while you can loves, Felipe.
