Thorny roses vs...

Beauty is truly in the eyes of the beholder.

Quote of the week

I love roses, yes they prick. It’s best to plant them on the sunny side of the house under a window. It has so many uses this way. Look out the window to the beauty. It is also a deterrent for someone wanting to enter the window without permission! Beautiful security solution all in a rose bush.

But seriously, we can focus on the trouble or the good.
