Second blooms

The two rose bushes (Knock-out type) have finally bloomed again. I didn't feel like clipping off the dead heads - the rose hips actually, so it's taken a while to get this second batch of flowers.

Today's quote:
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common -- this is my symphony.
-William Henry Channing, clergyman and reformer (25 May 1810-1884)
