November Rose

In the garden is this Peace Rose that blooms all the way into November. The color is reflective of the amber Maple Tree leaves in our Holler. It is the Topaz of the month. My favorite month of the year. Three very dear people, to me, celebrate their births in November. It is my own birth month, as well. Her last flowers are always on my kitchen window sill until the petals fall into the sink and are whisked away to make room for Christmas greenery. Tomorrow our country votes for new leadership. I am proud to be an American. Let us hope our nationality is still intact when the dust clears.

Amen.
