Budding Spring

Frost warning tonight
The rosebuds prepare to bloom
In spite of our fear

For all their beauty
They always look so fragile
They are truly strong

~~~^j^~~~
Thanks be to God!!

Cathy

    It's so wonderful to see Spring once more. It's been a long (sad) winter.

    God bless.

    A perfect flower bud. Roses have to be my favorite flower. And your haiku make me think #RosesAreStrong

    Oh how desperately we need beauty in a time of fear and plague! May the rosebuds escape the frost and blossom abundantly!

    It is important to still see the beauty of nature in these sad times, isn't it? Love your haiku! Have a nice day, stay safe! Hug from the Netherlands.

    We are having early morning frost too. It seems we can't win in waiting months for sunshine and springtime.

    Your poem is touching. I think rose bud, which bends in the wind but rarely breaks, will overcome the frost, too. What we humans need now is concentrated strength to persistent action, staying home. We shall overcome. Take care.

    I've been enjoying our cool weather. Perfect for yard work and walking. Sometimes we have very cool weather and then jump right into 90 degrees, so this spring has been delightful, and a real blessing since we are at home!

    I love seeing your wonderful rose bud. The roses are completely filled out here as well and I am awaiting the first bud. Roses thankfully are pretty resilient with the colder spring evenings. Enjoy the garden!

    There is a certain strength in fragility, is there not?

    I hope your roses survive the frost! We lost apple blossoms here due to frost.

    We are in a bit of a heat wave here in the Pacific Northwest but it'll cool soon with thunderstorms. I look forward to as much rain as we can get. I'm afraid this summer is going to be hotter and drier than normal (which means more fires). - Margy

    We've had a few frosty May mornings too. Luckily there has been no damage to our flower baskets. Stay warm and safe.
