The Simple Things

Some times it doesn't take much to make me happy. And right now, the three roses shown in this picture make me happy.

This picture was taken in my front yard and the fact that there are three roses is a pretty big deal. You see, I've lived in this house for nine years and if you add up all the roses this "bush" has produced since I moved in, the total would be 11 - including the three pictured. Which means in the eight previous years there have been eight roses. One year I had two roses, only not at the same time. Another year there were none. So three at once is a pretty big deal. It makes me happy.

Like I said, some times it doesn't take much. :o)

I understand how you feel about these roses. We also have a "bush" in our yard. Whenever there's a real bud, we're stunned and can't help point it out to each other. It's such a rare and wonderful occurrence.

Your three roses are lovely, though. Have more bloomed since you posted this?
