This week’s smile comes courtesy of my mother-in-law’s rosebush. It’s always the first rose to bloom each spring, and it’s the most fragrant. Years ago my father-in-law picked the first blossom each year and took it into the house for his wife. So sweet.
I think about them both every time I pass this bush which we transplanted to our own yard several years ago. And the memories always, without fail, make me smile.
What made you smile this week? Write a post and link to Trent’s weekly smile blog, he’ll recap on Monday and then you’ll be able to share smiles with lots of other happy people!

Coincidentally, a single flower makes me smile this week, too. It is a cutleaf peony bloom, the only one on the plant, but the plant was a gift from a friend who died several years ago. Added to that, the single peony perfumes our entire front porch! Love your rose, Dawn! 🙂

It smells just like you imagine a rose would. My mom had a hand cream when I was a kid called “Rose Milk” and this rose smells just like that.

It is. It’s one of those that’s pretty hard to kill, so we were lucky. We now have it in three places in the yard!

Looks like a rugosa. I have a couple of them, and they do like to asset themselves.
