Winter in Bloom

Our camilla bush is in full bloom. These buds don't open until the first cold snap. I'm sure there's an object lesson in there somewhere.

A friend of Richard's e-mailed him this morning and admitted that he and his family had also had a tough 2008. He concluded by saying, "I guess what doesn't kill us makes us stronger."

Looking forward to a stronger 2009--one full of the flowers that bloom from the soil of adversity.
