At long last I decided to take time out of my busy schedule and show signs of life in the fabulous WP world … , and try to catch my unfulfilled dream,the dream of my life … Well,you know,there is a very sociable word,a word with many extensions and spreading branches,but so very frustrating,I’m afraid … Is “catching up” hard on you,my friends ? How do you manage to take control of the situation? There must be a strategy ; I have noticed that most WP bloggers leave simply a “like”,or a two-word phrase-comment …,while I usually leave the story of my life … Ah,enough of my rambling,let me show you my protected Pink Roses …
~ Reading Heaven’s Signs … ~
It was a quiet winter day,my Pink Roses were happily basking in the warm sun,when storm clouds started gathering and presaging heavy storms … Then,on the spur of the moment,I decided to save them in my Glass World,where they are warm and safe now …
Have you ever wondered why the sky is so Blue ?
I asked why … ,and Lord Rayleigh gave me the answer … But,a cloud does not know why it moves in a certain direction and at such a speed… It feels an impulse … this is the place to go now and here it is above my garden,and in the ultimate Thule …
Soon,there was a storm brewing up,heavy rain was nearing and I wanted to keep the pink roses safe in my Glass World until Spring arrives and set them free …
How beautiful they look in my Glass World and away from the furious winds and the violent rain storms …
~ Please behold them in my Glass World until Spring arrives … ~
Now,I can only hear them happily whispering and saying that they are looking forward to Spring …
“True” Garden Stories in the middle of Winter … and under the Sky,the same Sky We all Live …
Oh,come on Doda,stop being childish ..
~ ❤ A big Thank You my WP friends for your comments & likes ❤ ~
A beautiful garden indeed. I’m sure it gives you much pleasure.

Dear Doda,
I don’t dislike winter. It has given me the time to do other things like research, writing, cooking, I also been doing a little snowshoeing and aerobics. Winter is also very beautiful, peaceful and quiet.
I love the color, shape and texture of your beautiful roses. Again, Much love💝
