My Birthday Flower


I went out to get the mail today and was greeted by a surprise flower in our yard. I happened to have my camera in my purse and so I snapped a picture of it.

We have pink and fuchsia roses in another part of our yard but this rose--which I didn't notice any other day this week while getting the mail--is up next to our house. There aren't any rose bushes in that part of the yard. But, truthfully, our yard is a mystery to me and what is growing in it is beyond my skill of identification--let alone gardening. (I've decided to treat everything green as poison ivy to avoid any future problems.)

I'm considering the rose my birthday flower--a special treat to an already wonderful day. BJ surprised me with gifts this morning and the kids have been super sweet all day. :)
