How can one not be cheered up by seeing this lovely, cheery yellow rose? It is still blooming in my garden in the third week of November, so I had to share it with everyone who appreciates flowers.

Have a good weekend!

It is incredible what you see when you get close to a flower, like this almost-black hollyhock. Holds for people, too.

I went by my favorite front-yard garden in my neighborhood today to see if there was any color, and I was not disappointed. In addition to a few roses and white daisies, I found these gorgeous magenta African daisies! Sharing my joy.

I asked the faithful light
Oh did it take long to find me?
And are you gonna stay the night?

Don’t label a generation lazy because they’re not willing to make the same sacrifices you did.

Refusing to jeopardize your well-being for your boss is not an act of disrespect. It’s an expression of self-respect.

And fills the being up with sweet desire;
Yet, once the altar feels love’s fiery breath,
The heart must be a crucible till death." - G.M. McClellan.

🎵Meet me in the crowd, people, people
Throw your love around, love me, love me
Take it into town, happy, happy
Put it in the ground where the flowers grow

Say 'ahhh'.

Just came back from my afternoon walk, where I found this.

Google tells me this is the seed pod of Iris foetidissima.
