Sharing a couple of roses from Dustin’s garden. So happy to see the blooms each day.
Many of you need happiness, a hug, a friend, and maybe a rose. So here you go!
A few quotes to pass along as well….
It was June, and the world smelled of roses. The sunshine was like powdered gold over the grassy hillside. ~Maud Hart Lovelace
Don’t care about the things they say about you, my dear. They envy your strength, and the way how you grow roses out of your wounds. ~Akshay Vasu
Feeling at peace, however fragilely, made it easy to slip into the visionary end of the dark-sight. The rose shadows said that they loved the sun, but that they also loved the dark, where their roots grew through the lightless mystery of the earth. The roses said: You do not have to choose. ~Robin McKinley, Sunshine
…you can lose more than you thought possible and still grow back, stronger than anyone imagined. Alexander Chee

again rise in the day sky
the thundering sound of horses stomping
as the blue sky faded
and the riders rode the winds that blew
From the last known painting of Skyler Blue

Thank you such beautiful roses and great quotes. Here is a nice one about roses.
The red rose whispers of passion And the white rose breathes of love; O, the red rose is a falcon, And the white rose is a dove.
John Boyle O’Reilly
Thanks and great quote as well.
Thank you for the roses. They are very special. Love that final quote, Carol.
You are welcome. That last one really hits home.
Gorgeous photo!
“If you enjoy the fragrance of a rose, you must accept the thorns which it bears.”
– Isaac Hayes
Thanks and I love the quote. Take care.
Another beautiful rose.
One of the saddest things I know about human nature is that we all try to procrastinate. We all dream of some magical rose garden beyond the horizon – instead of enjoying the view of the roses blooming in front of our window today.
(Dale Carnegie)
Thank you! Love that quote, thanks for sharing.
