Aw, thanks, JC! Wish I had a nap!
LOL! Lunch went well - but the host was bitten by a brown recluse spider (fiddleback) two and a half months ago - and now has what looks like permanent nerve damage to his arm and wrist.

Continuing the rose theme, here is one to think about -

I saw a rose, an ordinary rose
It struggled to be seen
In a garden overgrown
With harsh reality. I saw a rose, an ordinary rose
And this rose spoke to me,
Pleading for attention:
Is beauty not a need? I stopped to touch this ordinary rose
And it reached out to me,
Imparting its sweet fragrance
To my senses gratefully. I saw a man, an ordinary man
Who struggled to be seen,
His spirit languished on the streets
In dire neglect and need. I stopped to help this ordinary man
Who struggled to be seen,
And like the rose that bloomed with care
He too reached out to me. Fate placed these roses in our midst
So why should we complain?
Remember who created them
Who witnesses their pain. When next you meet that special rose
That struggles to be seen,
Remember, but for fate alone
That could be you or me.

I bet they were beautiful. Wish we could have seen them! Apricot is a luscious color for roses. How ya been doing? It has been terrible chilly and windy today. I just went to the mailbox and it was really cold. Spring is hiding again!
To: Lady Jag
The poem is very outstanding, L. J.!
And I want that precious white cat on the pink rose (with its little pink ears.)
To: yorkie
Goodness, that spider bite scares me. I am so afraid of spiders anyway!
Glad lunch went well....bet ya had some delicious food!
To: jaycee
Having to stay in. Was out in that wind too much and ended up sick. I hate having to stay in while it is so pretty outside. I have all kinds of flowers blooming.Maybe you could come over sometime.

There’s something charming about the tiny white kitten with a dark smudge on its head.

Today wouldn't have been a good day to be out if you're already under the weather. Didn't you say the other day that your hubby was coming down with something? You may have caught it from him! Feel better soon!
