~MY FIRST ROSE OF SPRING~
Yesterday was such a gorgeous day here in Oklahoma so I carried all my pretty house plants outside in order for them to enjoy the warmth of the sun. I also flung open the doors and windows of our home and it felt so good to allow our house to breathe in fresh air for a bit...
Nothing better.
~PLAYING WITH PHOTOSHOP~
While bringing the plants back inside this afternoon (cooler temps come later tonight and possibly heavy rains) I noticed the petite rose plant my daughter gave as a gift after my hand surgery last December had bloomed. Lots of wee little buds are beginning to open, but only one showed her true colors... a beautiful, soft pink! I willed this tiny plant to LIVE during the past few months and I just couldn't contain my JOY when I realized she would actually make it. I hope someday to transplant her into my garden.
WELCOME SPRING TO OKLAHOMA!
Happy Monday!
Love to you...

I'm sure that lovely little rose will bloom again. I planted one outside after it languished on my kitchen windowsill for most of a year - it was a tiny little yellow rose. Last spring, its first outside, it grew and grew and then proceeded to bloom all summer long - full-sized yellow roses with amazing perfume. It was such a gift!
Rebecca, I am glad you are enjoying some warmer weather!
Roses already?! Everything is still brown here and now we will be on watering restrictions. Praying for rain! Love your first rose. She is beautiful.
There's nothing lovelier than pink roses and fresh spring air. :)
Oh- A sweet pink rose given to aid your healing. How perfect. Would you believe we are at 18º with wind chill here tonight? AWFUL- xo Dana
Oh Rebecca I wish my roses were even beginning to turn green- we have had several gorgeous days but still have several snows ahead- Our safe planting date isn't till after Mother's day!
I am trying to find some pansies to plant as they should do ok this early but even Walmarts and such are not opening their garden centers yet!
I cleaned up my veggie garden and am all ready for planting when it comes time- love getting that dirt under my fingernails!
