God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December.
James Matthew Barrie
And sometimes we don't need memory! This rose just arrived via that wonderful brown truck, from our cousin, Ginny. What a treat in these short days to have a rose plant in my house. I put it under the grow lights so it would think it was summertime.
Hi Nan: Thanks so much for sharing your lovely photo. It certainly brightened up a very dull day.
ReplyDeleteHere, too! It looks pinker than it is - must be the reflection of the grow lights.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely on a cold, winter day! (The rose and the quote!)
ReplyDeletethanks, Robin - it popped into my head as I was opening the package. :<)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful gift to you.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy it and I know it brightened a winter day.
Thanks, Ernestine.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that a beautiful jolt of color in this gray, or in your case white, time of the year.
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredibly thoughtful, and gorgeous, gift!
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat! And such a pretty color, too.
ReplyDeleteI used to have a sweatshirt with a Mary Englebreit picture and the Barrie quote. I wore it for years every winter.
Lisa, that's great!
ReplyDeletePamela, it really is a wonderful gift.
Les, the color is really redder than it came through in the photo. I think Mary E. and Susan Branch really did a lot to bring a lot of great words into the public consciousness.
