Oh gather me the rose... by maggiemae

Oh gather me the rose...

O gather me the rose, the rose,
While yet in flower we find it,
For summer smiles, but summer goes,
And winter waits behind it.
William Ernest Henry

I felt I had to get a good photo of the golden roses, still blooming. They were hard pruned last winter and seem to benefit from that!

Could be good on the Black..

Three good things:
1. A new book (real) from the library.
2. My indoor slippers can take a bit of damp from the wet grass, getting this rose.
3. Honesty and sincerity from 365 friends!
What a perfect bloom!

So lovely! The raindrops are wonderful. I’ve been meaning to ask you if your jaw got better on its own?

@maggiemae I am glad you at least have relief, maybe just maybe medical science will find a cure.
May 23rd, 2018  
@louannwarren There are operations and stuff they can do but its not foolproof! I am just appreciating the lack of pain at the moment!
May 23rd, 2018  
@maggiemae No pain is a very good thing!
