Childhood is the most beautiful of all life's seasons. . .
One may live without bread, not without roses. . .
You can complain because roses have thorns, or. . .
you can rejoice because thorns have roses! I choose to rejoice!!
God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December. . .
I'd rather have roses on my table. . .
than diamonds on my neck.
This is the lovely Peggy Martin rose growing in my backyard garden. This beautiful rose is a true survivor having withstood hurricane Katrina. . .We, too, can withstand the storms of life when we have our faith rooted deeply in Him.
Dear friends, thank you so much for coming by for a visit today. I am enjoying my garden during this cooler weather along with my favorite pieces of rose covered china. I hope this note finds you doing well, dear ones. I am participating in "Tea Time" on Tuesdays. Please visit our very kind hostesses and all those who are participating by going here: Sandi @ http://sandimyyellowdoor.blogspot.com Martha @ http://marthasfavorites.com/ and Terri @ http://artfulaffirmations.blogspot.com

I've enjoyed my visit with you this morning. You'r teacups are stunning. You've inspired me to look for the perfect rose bush to plant in a perfect place next spring. I've never wanted to plant roses until now. Thank you!
