Roses in the Snow The snow that on our garden lies, Came to us as a surprise. There was no hint, at dark last night, The morning would come wrapped in white And on the trellis, I can see, Roses, hanging droopily. Each blossom still is blooming though, In shades of pink that bravely show, They are not ready yet to go! I think I'll gather some to dry And when they're ready, by and by, I will enjoy them even more, With winter crouching at my door!

Dear Marge: I would spend the rest of my life making "snugglies" for my roses if I could save them, but Jack Frost is also an accomplice of the snow! I'm outnumbered! Thanks! Love you Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

Noah: You're right about how beautiful the flowers appear, with a dusting of snow. You know it is the end of the blooming season and winter is a long, whiteness! I guess that's why spring is such a joyous time! All the color returns! Betty Lou Hebert |

Hello Betty Lou I can only imagine through your words how beautiful this sight must be. At the moment we are having some beautiful warm late Spring days here in Melbourne. I have two beautiful pink climbing David Austin roses near my back door called "Pierre de Ronsard" and they are just coming into bloom. I lost count of the amount of buds and can't wait until it is out in full bloom. Take care.........Sue I am in motion |

Oh how much I loved this. Last year I had pansies covered with snow and found it hard to believe they could exist in such frigid weather. Your writings always bring such wonderful joy and memories to me. Thank you. Huggles, Marti “Prayer makes the heart large enough until it can contain God’s gift of Himself.” |
