The maroon of Smoke tree and one Norway Maple leaf with two rose stems

God, the down to earth sandal wearing Shepherd, restores how I feel about myself and others and redirects my thoughts. (restores my soul and leads me in paths of righteousness) He does this for Himself because that is how He wants me to live using His name, Christian (for His name’s sake).

Psalm 23 : 3 (Sandy’s way of reading it )

Do not watch the petals fall from the rose with sadness, know that like life, things sometimes must fade, before they can bloom again.

Truths and Roses have thorns about them.

Henry David Thoreau ( 1817- 1862 naturalist, essayist, poet, philosopher)

A rose does not answer its enemies with words, but with beauty.
