My favorite rose is called 'Reine Victoria' (of the Bourbon Family). I think if I could have 100 of these planted together I would be happy... My plant is smallish, but tall, nearly 5 feet, and gives sweet blooms late April through June. It has a wonderful cup shape in a lovely bright pink, that would surely send Marie Antoinette swooning... and a scent that is rich and nostalgic. I have many other old roses, but this continues to be my favorite!
My moods have been very up and down, more down than up lately. A friend suggested trying Bach Flower Essences, are any of you familiar with these? I bought a small book explaining the 38 essences and found it very interesting. I love the idea of healing mental states and emotions to gain better health. It seems so basic and down to earth...
Fortunately I have a class this weekend, Soldered Jewelry, as I have been totally unmotivated. I sit out in my studio and stare at my table, and then I turn around and stare at the garden for hours, but nothing happens... Michael is better each day, but still so very tired. His mood is up which is a real blessing. It makes me wonder why I continue to be in such a funk... I think the shock is still so very near, and the fears of 'what if's' so very big.
