Crisp...crinkle...A rose is a rose is a -- scattering of petals. Thanks for the visual stimulation, M.L! Smiles, Gershon

Instantly reminded of Thomas Moore's, "'tis the last rose of summer blooming all alone ...." but in Eire, the grass is still green! Well done! Aloha, Rico

I thought of that too, when I saw that one lone rose.

I looked out one day during the first autumn snowfall and there was one, sentinel rose that had still bloomed. It was inspiring to me. Thanks.
