Roses of June

Today is my birthday.  I am spending it by myself--and so have chosen to enjoy the beautiful roses in my garden.  I love their scent, variety and the way they look.  Roses always have a happy face.

God bless you, sweet Friends.  My heart and prayers are with you today--you know who you are.

Sparkle Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

Monday, my husband and I took Mumsie to visit Daddy's place on Memorial Day.  Unexpectedly, the sun came out and I was able to capture the sun's rays as they burst over the top of the wall where Dad is.

Then of all things, the sunshine touched the cut glass cross necklace Dad gave to Mom--sending sparkles next to his name.  Daddy--forever in our hearts.  And did you notice?  The sparkle is in the shape of a heart.

Summer Roses

 

I went for a walk this morning and came across the most amazing rose bush--at the end of each stem were nosegays of  orange, pink, yellow and red roses growing all together.  What a beautiful sight!

One could make an entire bouquet by clipping one single stem!

I especially loved the the yellowish orange roses sprinkled throughout each rosy grouping.

Candied Roses - Guest Heart Thursday

Yesterday morning when I awoke, everything was covered with frost.  Our thick freezing fog had added a sparkling patina to everything it touched, including this exquisite rose.  The heart is in the top of the rose--doesn't this rose look like it's been candied?  I've heard candied rose petals are quite delicious.
