The Last Rose Of Summer

Photo Description
Not quite the last, but certainly among the last few. This is another view of my Piñata rose. The first was so well liked, I wanted to post one more before they're all gone. I have never seen a rose with so much brilliance. It almost glows.

This rose is good for me, at this time. Fall has an unusual, even strange effect on me. I suppose it could be termed melancholia. The voices of children playing seem much more distant than they really are. Everything seems quieter. My thoughts tend to wander to things in the far distant past. As the days get shorter, all events seem to happen so slowly and unhurried. There is a sense of quiet contentment unknown in other seasons.

Seeing a beautiful object such as this rose, put here by Nature for our enjoyment, has a way of snapping me out of that dreamlike state and back to the 'Now World'.

Which is the better place to be? A difficult decision, to say the least.

The word 'melancholia' is an old, out of use, medical term. In later years, its use was revived, but with a different meaning.

Today, the word is more likely to indicate a mild and transitory blue mood.

Yes Ma'am. It is nice. I've rooted two already and plan to root a lot more next spring.
