Greenhouse work

Today Joy Miller and I got together to work in the greenhouse as we prepare for Spring…I think… kinda felt like it was already here. In fact, Joy was thinking she may needed sunblock! It was a gorgeous day.  I cleaned out some gardens and came across these roses.  Have you ever really stopped to appreciate a rose?  This beautiful thing bursts forth into the world with no help from us.  In fact, these were at the end of their life and judging by the evidence I saw on other branches, I suspect others came and went maybe without even being seen by a human.  There is something special about the feeling you get when you witness life in this way, seeing the perfect formation and beautiful colors and experiencing the divine fragrance stirred with the fresh air.  Take time to stop and smell the roses…
