Flowers Before the Storm

Karen Norton

We’re due for possible severe storms this evening, so I went out to get some pictures, just in case, so I could share them with you.

Our rose bushes were in awful shape – with straggly branches way up over my head – so I cut them back by a good 2/3. I figured that either they would be happy about it or we needed to start over. Happily, you can see that this one is already blooming with a bunch of buds. :0)

This sweet bunch of flowers tries to bloom each year. Usually, we have a bad storm just at the time these need a bit of protection. I try to get a picture or two, because they don’t usually make it through the storm.

It raises my spirits to walk around the yard, seeing HOPE in the planters.
