Roses In October
|
Last night as I sat in the garden drinking coffee and visiting with Lauren, the subject of roses came up. I told her about my rosebush at home. It has forty-five blooms on it now! My dad gave me the plant as a present to replace some yellow roses that got mowed over by accident. (oops!) The blooms are bright pink and slightly fragrant. Not too strong, but strong enough to drift through the air and penetrate the breeze. The rather odd aspect of these roses is the fact that they bloom in early June and late October. I don't think I've ever come across another rose that blooms twice like that, let alone so late in the year. But it's lovely to look out the window in the middle of autumn and see amid the dreary wetness of an October rain, the bright flowers nodding at me from below my bedroom window.

| The ShugaBowl |
| Sounds like some kind of sports thing, but in reality, the ShugaBowl is just a little hideaway for me, Sugarcube herself, to let loose my thoughts and occasional creativeness. |
