The Last Rose


The weather here today is grey, damp and quiet.  Can weather be quiet?  I believe so.  I don't even hear the birds today.  There's one lone woodpecker at the feeder right now.


I was looking out the window at the garden, dull and dying when a shot of pink caught my eye.  What on earth?  It can't be.  Sure enough, when I got out there I saw the very last rose beaming in all it's beauty.  I wish I could describe the scent to you, it's amazing.  I like to think that the garden left me a parting gift.  One last flower until the spring.  Thank you.


I started sewing the rows together on my "Let it Snow" quilt yesterday.  It's coming along nicely.  The last Christmas quilt for this year almost done!

Smiles,

  4. Such a beautiful rose. Yes, I do believe it was a special gift to you for taking such good care of your garden.
    I don't know about quiet, with the 6 kids in the house in our front yard and the horse, chickens and turkeys in our side yard. LOL. Glad you are havin a quiet one though. Love your quilt. I would love time for a Christmas quilt, but am working on a special order one.
    Thanks for sharing your special rose...I can almost smell it too.

  6. I can't quite imagine a climate without flowers all year round - we had roses right through winter.

    What a wonderful gift, a beautiful scented rose as both a farewell and a reminder that the flowers will return.

  8. Lucky you! Those quiet days amaze me, but for some reason I always feel more productive. Maybe because I am scurrying while all the animals are warming their winter hidey-holes...
