Double the beauty…

For me, a unique double bloom on this Clematis, in the heat of August. A double, solitary bloom….I will take it (them).

yes, forgive…

‘Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.’ Oscar Wilde    😀

Sincerely listen beyond the rhetoric…

‘If we could all hear one another’s prayers, God might be relieved of some of his burdens.’ Ashleigh Brilliant

new beginnings…

“Never allow waiting to become a habit. Live your dreams and take risks. Life is happening now.” Paulo Coelho

always teaching…

“Don’t worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.” Robert Fulghum

Rose of Honor…

I planted this in early July, in honor of a lost pup…Harley. Each bloom is a bit unkempt, raggedy and still pleasing to the eye…just like our sweet Harley was. With the cataclysmic, mind swirling events besieging us, losing a pet can be measured, by some, as trivial. No so to those that received loyalty, intuitive love and beautiful memories over the years. Harley’s Rose….
