It is originally for piano but I like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKYZ8QbGXbI" rel="nofollow">this</a> version. It is wistful and longing, not unlike the feeling we have when thinking of our dear children scattered hither and yon. bonnienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11661836.post-46444977681581730382010-09-09T19:05:37.000-04:002010-09-09T19:05:37.000-04:00I love the poem!

But bloggers have been posting their roses, and I am slowly being won over. It's the colors. I do not like red roses, but ones like this are outstanding! This is truly one perfect rose in ev ery way. I have never seen such pretty roses as on blogs this summer! And I also was advised that roses bloom all summer long, which I had never thought of. So after seeing all these roses, then this awesome one, I finally have to say that roses are alright with me.Ginny Hartzlernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11661836.post-33494352721810965132010-09-09T18:24:22.000-04:002010-09-09T18:24:22.000-04:00If they all look like that one, you were lucky!! I...If they all look like that one, you were lucky!! I pick Japanese beetles off my plants and drown them in a bucket of soapy water (and I don't feel badly about it at all!). Then when it gets too yucky to look at, I pour the contents around the base of the rose bushes so the beetle crap can fertilize them....lol<br /><br />I tried to take your advise about posting photos with blogger, and I thought that is what I had been doing all along. tonight I tried to post six; did them one at a time, and the end result was that they were ALL jumbled up and not in any semblance of the order I posted in (last to first). I deleted that post, and now I'm going to try Picasa and see what happens.kenjunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11661836.post-33467006093963917372010-09-09T17:38:57.000-04:002010-09-09T17:38:57.000-04:00<span>Here's hoping the beetles aren'...<span>Here's hoping the beetles aren't such a problem next year!

Nature is God's painting canvas. Sorry but i just had to laugh while reading about the killing of the beetles and the jar. to funny. and i will remember this if i want to curse a neighbor. still laughing.Sandranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11661836.post-14895527459275838992010-09-09T15:23:03.000-04:002010-09-09T15:23:03.000-04:00That is a perfect rose.
