Radical Roses


Untamed roses grow frantically in gardens surrounding my house. It is fragrantly sensational.

Ammon and I went on a cutting frenzy and made a beautiful arrangement which now adorns my kitchen counter. Ammon was taken by the unique presentation of each of the varieties. We strolled and cut and talked about the day when my dad would cut fresh flowers and I would take them to my school teacher. Ammon thinks he should take a rose to his teacher tomorrow.

Everything is different at home. Ra left today. He is gone for 6 weeks. His first stop is Germany to see Isaac. The thought is thrilling. Ra gets to stay with Isaac for 5 days...I want to be there...then he heads to the Middle East for work.

So begins life in a whole new way.
