the hope of wonder

For years my next door neighbor has had this climbing rose growing near my fence. It changes to several luscious colors as it opens. I thought is would be wonderful to have one on our side as well.
My neice, the clematis collector, identified it as Joseph's Coat, and we recently bought one at a Baton Rouge nursery. Soon after it had two buds and today there were three roses blooming! I had to bring one inside to scrutinize thoughly, but also to remind me to go outside and enjoy the others. Sometimes days can pass by and I forget to see the magic that is happening around me.
Since this is the season of Easter, and our Father's resurrection, I am feeling hopeful.
For today at least I will "stop and smell the roses."
I hope you do too.
Nameste.
