I am itching for spring, flat out dying for spring this year. On a warm(ish) day last week I took to my beloved rose garden to see if I could find ANY sign of ANY hint of spring.
This was before the biggest snow storm of this winter, mind you.
I love this rose garden, I come in here every month without fail. I've blathered about it in all seasons, here and here have photographic evidence to boot.
Gardens in winter are almost eerily calm and deserted, except for fat little sparrows trying desperately to find their next meal.
Bramble, thicket, brier. Undeniably a few of my favorite words in the whole world.
And they all seem to fit a rose bush in winter better than they do in summer. Something about stripping off the leaves and just seeing a skeleton of tangled thorns.
With a garden of only thorns, the lonely little black plant markers seem to be the shows main attraction. These names are so darling, it makes me want to get another cat just so I can name it after a rose.
Dainty Bess? Like in Little Women? Circa 1925? That would be one heck of a cute cat name.
Do you guys have any cute ideas for kitty names? Jim and I are going to the pound on Thursday to scope out possible new additions to the family and I want to be prepared with an arsenal of good names.
I've been pushing for a Mabel for months, but I guess it depends on the cat, too.
