We’re lucky here in Southeast Texas to have a mild climate throughout the fall, but we also have icky-cold-gray-for-days-depressing weather.
You know those days when it’s dark when you leave for work, dark when you get home, and dark all day in between?
Even in the dark, dank, depressing weather, Glover Gardens is still producing flowers. The Grill-Meister snapped a gorgeous rose pic with his iPhone yesterday; it brightened the gloomy December day and inspired a quick haiku.
Ode to a December Rose
Cold rainy gray-ness
Beautifully showcases
Perfect pink petals
The same rose, a few days later on a lovely December Sunday.
Ode to a December Rose II
Perfect pink petals
Epitomize beauty in
Gloom or in sunshine

Beautiful…
Reblogged this on Glover Gardens Cookbook and commented:
The rainy rose remained beautiful as the weather turned gorgeous, as weather in Southeast Texas is wont to do. So of course – another pic, another quick haiku.
