Roses in December



My youngest daughter, 21, prettied up the Christmas Day lunch table. An eggplant tablecloth was the background for this charming centerpiece. The green vase is one my mother-in-law gave to me when she downsized her home a couple of years ago. I love its shape. Amazingly, Ashley picked the roses from my front garden! We've had snow, frost, hail and more, but these roses persevered. And they have a delicate fragrance that brings back summertime memories.

    Beautiful Display!! It is amazing the roses have survived and that they still spill forth a delicate fragrance. The Lord wanted to bless you with the hope of Spring!

    Happy New Year!
