Smells Like Hope

And I will make thee beds of roses
And a thousand fragrant posies.
- Christopher Marlowe

Well, I don't know about everyone else but I have found this week extraordinarily depressing. A very tough week in the news.

As lovely as the sun is, the heat is making it quite difficult to sleep, so am probably just over tired.

Today, Dixie and I walked to library (yes, I am determined to personally keep them in business, as new government seems to believe they are no longer needed). On our way back, I was feeling somewhat dejected. I spotted this rose in a neighbor's front garden. Something about it made me think of hope...
