Petal Pushin'

so, what should have been a 30 minute commute to work took an hour and 45 minutes due to 1/2" inch of snow, ice, rain and traffic accidents. i thought with patience of Spring....Liar, Liar, pants on fire!

petal (ptl)
One of the often brightly colored parts of a flower surrounding the reproductive organs. Petals are attached to the receptacle underneath the carpels and stamens and may be separate or joined at their bases. As a group, the petals are called the corolla.

 

The Rose and the Bee

 

If I were a bee and you were a rose,

Would you let me in when the gray wind blows?

Would you hold your petals wide apart,

Would you let me in to find your heart,

If you were a rose?

"If I were a rose and you were a bee,

You should never go when you came to me,

I should hold my love on my heart at last,

I should close my leaves and keep you fast,
If you were a bee."

Sara Teasdale

No Springs Attached! WINTER - Forget about YOU!

and these too!

I want to revel at nature

see fresh new buds popping through the earth

plant flowers and watch them grow

breath deeply

blossoms, buds, blooms

and Oh, Dear Lord, the birds!

Memories of Mom - in her rose garden

Lavender Delight

In my Mom's garden - my mom had a style of her own - and her gardens were always one of my favorite things. She had a rose garden in the back yard that was in the shape of a large tear drop. The color theme of this garden was lavender roses. It is a memory I will always close to my heart - some day I will plant one of my very own...perhaps this Spring. Jennifer
