Last Roses of The Season for a Special Day


On the way into church tonight passed the rose bush by the rectory. My first thought was there's roses ... then that they looked like paper roses, so perfect and this late in the year.






















I was glad that I had my camera. This was like receiving a gift. A spiritual gift. Something I needed. Mass was the Saturday vigil mass for tomorrow ... October 24th, the date of my mother's passing. I offered mass for her. Its been 6 years.

We so often butted heads, but also often had good times. Whatever we had or didn't have, she was my mother and I loved her, still do. Thanks for the roses, pink ones. Pink was her favorite color.

To mom with love,

  2. What a beautiful rose and a nice reminder of your mom! Sending hugs and good wishes your way.

    I may be a fast crocheter, but am definitely not a talented one. You will laugh when I post about your crochet-a-long which I tried. I think it's a bowl -- or a hat! Ha!

    Best wishes, Tammy PS I'm thinking a 3-day weekend sounds good to me right about now. :)
