I am home again for a day. The wedding was lovely and Rose was lovely. It was a wonderful weekend with treasured friends.

This morning I toured the gardens. I was lamenting that my beautiful flowers were in ugly fences.

Then I arrived at the spot where South Seas should have been blooming. There were empty stalks instead. I had forgotten to put its fence ring back up.

There is a lesson here. I do not like the fences. They are an ugly addition to a beautiful garden, but…

NO fences, NO flowers.
