The Meaning of a Purple Rose


As I walked around the Atlanta Botanical Gardens recently, I almost walked right past this bush of purple Roses. But I stopped short of passing them by, looked closely and thought how gorgeous they were. If only I had taken more images. There were so many people milling about that I didn't want to disrupt anyone so I snapped a few quick images and moved on.


The purple Rose signifies enchantment. Should you receive a purple Rose from another it supposedly means they have fallen in love with you at first sight. I knew the different colors of Roses had different meanings, but this was one I didn't know until now. How charming is that. Fall is going to pass us by here shortly and the weather is going to move right into Winter, but not quite yet. We do, however, have a hard warning tonight. I hope wherever you are you are enjoying the beautiful Fall colors. ENJOY!

Valentine Wishes



I wish for you and yours on this special 'day of love' a bouquet of beautiful red roses or perhaps a heart shaped box in bright red filled with sweet, yummy chocolate truffles. Or if you are a serious Valentine romantic, perhaps a romantic dinner for two at your favorite restaurant with a nice bottle of wine and a scrumptuous dessert to wrap it all up. Happy Valentine's Day!

Remember


An especially trying week here in Louisville with severe storms blowing the roof off of a major hotel, fires ignited by lightning taking the lives of two individuals in their home while several other homes were ignited due to lightning strikes. However, nothing compares to the tragedy of those individuals who were involved in the Colorado episode that took place very, very early in the morning hours in Aurora today. And so . . . I PRAY!
