This Perfectly Imperfect Life

'Love & Peace' Hybrid Tea roses from my garden. In trying to wrap my head around what's happened to us, our Country, our Nation again, I can only say this:  What we seem to forget so easily these days is that an attack on one is an attack on us all, on all of our ways of life. Stand together against hate regardless of outward differences, instead of banding together separately. It is because we show no overall unity that those who seek to destroy our ways of life keep succeeding. My prayers are with the victims, their families, our Nation, and the World. My heart hurts for us all.  *Because I've seen what happens after something horrifying like this happens, and what I'm seeing already elsewhere, I ask that you hold all comments on this post - please feel free to post your own feelings on your own pages. Given our personal family crisis at this time, and my health, on top of what's happened in Orlando, I am not up for more negativity and hate.

'Love & Peace' hybrid tea. I mean, Come. On.  In my garden today y'all! That's a 'no filter needed' rose my friends! I am so glad, relieved, happy, that I have found comfort and joy in gardening again.  What's on your Friday Favorites list today?

I'm not actually a day late and a dollar short, yesterday's post disappeared! But, that's alright because now I have a couple of more photos to share with you from my  garden taken later in the day yesterday, and this morning. The solid yellow rose is 'Julia Child' floribunda, and the multicolor rose is 'Love & Peace' hybrid tea. (Many more photos on my Instagram !) Do you garden? What are the stars in your garden right now? (PS: How is it June already?! 2016 needs to slow down a bit).
