101
The snow is melting now. Big puddles of water everywhere. It makes me think of spring. And flowers in the spring. Flowers after a heavy late spring rain. I can’t wait. This is a time of biding. // Few flowers beat the rose for beauty. Voluptuous, soft, fragrant. And after a summer rain, the air heavy with their sweet smells, water droplets accentuating the lines of the petals. And when it comes to selection of roses, few places beat the International Rose Test Garden in Portland. Incredible.
