October 23/11

I saw these roses at Ashley & Braden's house tonight.  What makes them special is that when we did their landscaping this spring, we never thought this tiny rosebush would survive.  It was so small, we forgot to replant it for a day, and it just looked like it would not live.  Going there tonight, the rosebush is at least 3 feet tall with 5-6 roses on it.  And being close to the end of October, I would have thought the roses would be done and finished blooming.
Then I got to thinking about the meaning of yellow roses...today yellow roses are commonly associated with joy and friendship. Yellow roses bring to mind all of the sunny, cheerful feelings of warmth, happiness and friends.
Like the roses I saw tonight that survived when we thought they would not, true friendships and love can survive anything if cultivated and given the right conditions.  Both are beautiful and will bloom with care.

Warmth, Happiness and Friendship
