Day Two Hundred Forty 2013

Won't you come into the garden? I would like my roses to see you.   ~Richard Brinsley Sheridan

Neil and I had lunch in the rose garden today. No, not that rose garden but a local rose garden. This is the view from inside the gazebo at Dogwood Park. It is surrounded on three sides by all different kinds of rose bushes and the scent in the air is delicious. The bright sunlight almost washed out all the pretty colors, but you get the idea. Apparently, a local rose society plants and maintains the garden for all to appreciate. It’s a pleasant way to spend some time with my hubs on his lunch break.

"I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house. So I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air." ~~Nathaniel Hawthorne

Picture Postcards (In Solaris) From 'The 'Side' (Mom's Place)

Family gatherings for lunch at my mom's place is always fun. We did manage to go outside to soak up some of that brilliant autumn sunshine and enjoy the roses still blooming in the garden and say hello to their resident kitty. We call him 'Persian', but Elijah calls him 'Butter'. We ended up at Jane's house to watch 'A Hard Day's Night' and eat candy corn. Not too shabby, eh? Good time autumn days.
