THE ROSE

The roses in our garden are abundant, and particularly this rose is smelling heavenly.
A beautiful day. In the morning we moved a cane bench to the balcony, so much more comforable to sit or ly upon than the old chair.
After food shopping a quiet afternoon.

My haiku:

Oh rose tell me please
Tell me where you found that smell
Hidden in the soil

And the proverb:

Under the rose.

(= in secret)
