The Beauty of Roses

For many years of their marriage, my sister's husband always bought her purple roses for special occasions.

Sadly, a few years ago, that  kind, loving and wonderful man died way too young from pancreatic cancer.

My sister's birthday falls on the Fourth of July. One of my presents to her this year were roses in a pretty white tea pot, found in T.J. Maxx. 

I loved it because it even had ceramic roses all around the top.

 

After a bit of a search, I located purple roses to put into it. 

They were inserted  into one of those spongy things, made just for flower arrangements.

She was happy with her favorite purple flowers in a teapot.

If anyone  needed proof  of a Creator, all I'd do is show him or her a rose.

The incredible beauty of roses astounds. 

Most flowers are beautiful, I think, but there's something extra special about roses.

They are intricate and exquisite yet simple and blissfully fragrant.

Oh my goodness, whenever I see roses, they seem to melt my heart.

Two of the roses in this photo were taken at a roadside garden stand in Williamsburg, Massachusetts.

I will post more photos of this mini-trip in coming days so if you like to look at flower photos, come on back.

In the meantime, have a lovely Sunday, filled with wonder and loveliness.
