How lucky am I that my neighbors have this gorgeous "old-fashioned rose" bush -- well, essentially, it's a shrub -- that annually produces an abundance of blooms. And, I jokingly say that they planted it just for my viewing pleasure as anytime I look out a window on the northside of the house, it's easily visible. It's spectacularly beautiful and exquisite with a lingering familiar scent. At this time each year it is the main event of the neighborhood, and I'm grateful for such a gift.
"A bit of fragrance always clings to the hand
that gives you roses."
--Chinese Proverb
