The Fruit of Tenacity

19 October 2006

In the deepest, darkest, and most dirtiest corner of our backyard… we have an ugly, scraggly, old rose bush that – on many occassions – I have been tempted to burn it to the ground and replace with a more pleasant looking green thing.

However, it’s saving grace is its flowers – soft, floppy white petals with a beautiful glow of pink; And perhaps the intensity of its bloom – it is COVERED with roses. It looks like a giant white brain… with white tentacles.
