Before I throw them out they get one final hurrah

When the rose is faded,

Memory may still dwell on

Her beauty shadowed,

And the sweet smell gone.

That vanishing loveliness,

That burdening breath,

No bond of life hath then,

Nor grief of death.

'Tis the immortal thought

Whose passion still

Makes the changing

The unchangeable.

Oh, thus thy beauty,

Loveliest on earth to me,

Dark with no sorrow, shines

And burns, with thee.

One last short neighborhood walk with Kobe (the pups’ dad) and Mana (the pups’ older brother); will soon be leaving.

Fading but still beautiful-------!

A rose shot of mine which I then (mis)treated in Photoshop... kinda lovely, kinda grungy...

This house was demolished and removed from the original site about five miles away, and rebuilt brick by brick here to command a better view!---not a bad job eh??
