| M&M Roses -- | ROSES FROM ISRAEL | |
Dear Ones, I send you Shabbat Greetings, and write to tell you that we remain overwhelmed and surrounded by the absolute glory of the roses that you sent. They are as full and gorgeous as they can be on this Shabbat, one full week after they arrived. Last Friday they were tight, beautiful buds. Every day during the week, each vase of flowers opened a little more showing a radiance and color pattern that amaze and delight, and which could not be detected fully at first by the buds, and I thought the buds were incredible! Well, now there are full, large, fresh, healthy, unwilted, unbrowned roses in a rainbow of colors, and some are multi-colored. Each rose has its own "personality." Some are demure and genteel, like the soft whites; some are extroverts showing every color and curled petal in perfect splendor, like the multi-colored rose and peach; and some are quietly elegant and majestic, like the deep reds. Some are flirtatious, like the bright yellows; and some are jejeune, like the soft pinks. Really, they are all special, radiant, different -- still enchanting and filling my home with beauty and wonder. Every day that they are here, you are with me, too. When their heads begin to bow, I shall snip and let them dry to preserve their colors, so they can remain ever lovely and on display in a basket. Again, while I thank you so much, I must say, really you shouldn't have! But, ohh, how I am enjoying every last one of them!
