The beauty of this world amazes me.

I just had to share the thoughts of never giving up this plant give me. It is a rosebush that has been buried for years (before we moved in) under several feet of large gravel. To add further insult, because of where it is located, we covered it with a chainlink fence and other debris for almost a year. Look at it though. Its Flourishing! Unwatered, Unpruned, Unwanted. I love it! I love its strength and its contrasting beauty with its surroundings!

You may not find beauty in snakes, but I do. I love the Utah summer memories with my brothers and snakes. I love the sudden bravery in my oldest son too.

Cant we all just get along? Uh, and then it bit the neighbor girl. Hard enough to bleed. There must be some beauty in that but right now I am just not seeing it.
