Still Point in the Spring

Finnish Coffee Pot Roses

Took this photo and others of our garden before the big storm.  These roses here are precious to our family as the story that accompanies them is just as sweet.  As the story goes, almost 50 years ago, my paternal Grandmother loved her rosebush back in Finland soooo much that she brought back a clipping in a coffee pot that she held on her lap on the return trip to Canada from a visit back home.  If there's one thing for certain, Finns and their 'coffee' go together!  I don't have the actual coffee pot she used, but the fragrance that hovers in the warm spring air and drifts through our bedroom window as we fall asleep is more than enough.  I've found my 'Still Point' in the spring.
