the scent of rose

The roses are nearly at their best. . .

with hardly any leaf issues.

I walked out several times this weekend before. .
during. .
and after. .
the rain .

I'd ask them to remain as they are. ..

for the whole season of summer.  . .

but since they as everything else must move forward with the season . .

 . .we'll just spend every moment we can . . .

inhaling their scent.

It's almost enough . .

for me to

go to the perfume counter to ask for the scent of rose. . .

 . ..

and then. .

I think of my mom.

all for now ..
