Roses and Friends

It's time to brighten this blog with some color.

I can't find color outside in our winter world of black and white,but I can still find color.

In December,my neighbours brought over this colourful and cheerful floral arrangement.By way of explanation.The base is the bottom part of a 'Christmas Ornament' and the piece on the top right,is the  rest of it.When the flowers were gone and I put these two together it was a cheery Christmas ball.

Roses are always welcome in my home,whether at Christmas or any other time.These red ones were exquisite.

Red,white and green,what perfect colors to display at Christmas time,or any time.

I found this quote,think about and see if you can come up with an answer.

I don't know whether nice people tend to grow roses or growing roses makes people nice.

One more picture of the arrangement.It was beautiful and because of pictures,it will last for years to come.

Closing Thought:

Roses and friends differ only in name,

for the joy that they give are one and the same.
