"Gather Ye Rosebuds..."

I should have entitled this "The Unexpected Rosebud". I noticed it this afternoon topping one of my very dead looking rosebushes.

"Gather ye Rose-buds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying:
And this same flower that smiles to day,
To morrow will be dying."

To read the whole poem by Robert Herrick:

@casablanca Hubby is doing well. Pretty much back to everything he normally does. I told him "no more cutting aluminum, though". :-) He sees the surgeon next Monday for the final verdict. Not expecting anything negative! Thanks for asking, Casa!

@kvphoto Yes, it was! :-)
