the local flower boy brought these roses on saturday, after all mine in the garden were burnt off in the hot weather we have been having, these have made me happy during this week. i took the photo because as i looked at them i could see kaffe's book and the dvd,'a common thread' peeping though the petals! it just made me smile, the home of a stitcher!
the variegated roses reminded me of some luscious raspberries and cream !
then on sunday, the view out the window, after rain had been falling all night and was still falling was wonderful ! a wet path, skies grey and the temperature was cool. and i took a photo ! taking a photo of rain ! it is a rare thing in melbourne these days !
as you can see all my roses need another cut back, a good trim.
a friend of mine has just completed this embroidery and it is back from being made up. looks gorgeous ! that word again. mother and child, it made me think more about the separation of the conjoined twins at the royal childrens hospital in melbourne last week and the amazing work the surgical team and all concerned have done. one of the little girls has been watching a dvd of the 'wiggles' just one week later.
let us hope that we get more rain, that other people are made as happy as those around the little girls and that we enter the time leading up to christmas without too much rush and bother. i will be happy !
