Wish I remembered the name of the rose

The new pics are of my favorite rose. I wish I remember the name, but I don't. I do remember it is a David Austin Old English Rose. I "deadheaded" - I guess before they were really dead - and that's why there's a bowl of floating roses..with short stems. I am thankful for my roses. They have made a rough week or so much easier. I haven't posted lyrics here in a long time because I don't like the fact that everyone is encouraged to take. I've accepted it with my photographs. Anyway...clearly stating that these lyrics are MINE and I own the copyright...here are new lyrics...

Between

Somewhere between your dreams and mine
Between meant to be and might have been
What we said and what we meant
We were right, right there together

Now we're mountains and oceans
Sun and stars, worlds apart
Looking for our way back
Back in time

Somewhere between your dreams and mine
Between meant to be and might have been
What we said and what we meant
We are right, right there together

Blue Moon Festival -

Once upon a Blue Moon Festival

Mandolins and guitars

Troubadours under the stars

Singing well known songs

Living songs as yet unwritten

With melodies and chords

Straight from winds and rivers

Words lost in the music

Meaning found

Once upon a Blue Moon Festival

Mandolins and guitars

Troubadours under the stars

Scanned Roses

I like to scan roses, too. I hope you enjoy them.

More roses and a free spirit

The last pictures are not great but the roses are unbelievable. They are in my Grandmother's Iris depression glass vase...which is big. I have given roses away..I have cut roses for me. Roses everywhere. I am very thankful because I did nothing to deserve them. They are pretty much on their own. I think I've mentioned they are all old fasioned roses...David Austin I think.

One of my Nashville friends passed away. I hadn't see him in years but we kept up with each and talked on the phone...not often or regularly. If one of us moved or changed numbers the other one always managed to get the number if one of us didn't give it to the other one. He was a pivotal person in my life...by that I mean I don't think I'd be who I am now if I had not met him. He helped me see the world in a different light...a freer light. He never had commercial success but is much respected by other musicians and songwriters...especially Red Dirt ones or ones from Oklahoma or Texas. He was the freest spirit I've ever met. Funny how much you can miss someone you didn't see or talk to much....but you can.

Beautiful Roses

My bushes have more roses than ever this year. Maybe because it was cold...no bugs! The pictures are from the 2 that are blooming. There are 3 more that are not. All of my roses are the old fashioned type roses...mostly climbers. My yard may not be cut...my hedges may not be trimmed...but my roses are beautiful!!

I have just 7 more days to teach and then 2 days of testing and I will be out of school for a little over 2 weeks!

I've been ebaying. My daughter gave me a gift certificate and I'm trying to spend it. I think I will be able to get three Hindu movies (yes...all Shahrukh Khan ones) and then Wings of Desire and FarAway, both Wim Wenders films.
