December Rose

I don't think it is going to get a chance to open. It was close to 60 today, but rain and snow and really cold in the forecast for tomorrow. If it would have gotten a chance to grow up it would have been a gorgeous lavender. Today is Tom's birthday - we were going away for the weekend but the weather is just going to be too bad. Hopefully out somewhere on Saturday.
