One of my rosebushes is putting forth a valiant effort to keep summer alive. It is right next to a kitchen window and I suppose the warmth from the house is fooling it a bit. Despite a hard freeze we had a week ago that put the rest of the garden to sleep, this one set out blooms worthy of a June day. The pink kind of clashes with the autumn colors of the tree behind it, but it all works in nature doesn't it?
Nice thing about the cool weather: There are no chomped on petals by the garden bugs looking for a meal. These roses were perfect.

I've often thought that the First Rose of Summer and the Last Rose of Summer deserve feasts thrown in their honor. There's something so nostalgic and bittersweet about both of them.
