Roses And Chores
February 27, 2021 by kmabarrett
For the last week, it’s been in the mid-to-low 70’s to high-60’s here. So my better half decided yesterday that our front yard needed it’s first cutting of the year. The gardener / laborer (me) took care of that while the chief chef and bottle washer (her) went off for some groceries. While I was doing the mowing I noticed we got our first rose of the year in our front path. We have a series of miniature rose bushes on one side of our front path. There on the smallest bush, was a tiny rose barely the size of the tip of my thumb. I mentioned this to my wife and she said there is also a single rose out in the backyard. And, below are the two of them… |

2021 First “mini” rose on the front path… |

2021 First rose in the backyard… |

The backyard (red) rose is not a “mini”, but it’s also not a normal size of one from a florist. I guess it is still too early in the season for that size. |

I apologize for the fuzzy images, but I’ve never claimed to be a decent photographer. When I tried to shoot between breaths, I could feel my heartbeat shaking my arms / hands. |

To paraphrase some quote I’m sure I’ve read somewhere: “Enjoy the moments of beauty and the days of your life will take care of themselves.” (Okay, maybe I made that one up. — kmab) |
