“Showers of Roses”
Tonight as I drove into my parish parking l0t for a parish council meeting, I happened to look at the Rose garden.
It looked incredible–several varieties of roses were in full bloom, brightening the garden with patches of ivory, rose, pink and peach blooms. It’s October–I didn’t think we’d have many left. But there they are, and several buds look like they might be coming along, too.
It was truly a shower of roses. How appropriate on St. Therese’s feast day.
(Oh, and a picky pronunciation note–it’s TE-REZE, not Theresa or whatever. I know it sounds nutty and snobby and Frenchy (well she was French), but that’s how you say her name. It’s helpful in distinguishing her from St. Teresa of Avila. OK I’m done being picky now. :))
