It's freezing here in my part of the PNW. Literally, #yakima had a freeze warning the past two days. Like Mother Nature is all skipping fall and straight to winter. Yesterday was windy AF, with random bursts of freezy, drizzly, almost-snowy rain. . But... in that yuck, I found a handful of pretty roses, still hanging in there, out in the garden. 🌹🌹🌹 They were covered in icy-raindrops, but they very much brighten up my nightstand now. . That big bloom in front, she was all alone on her bush, blooming so big and mighty, like the queen of the garden path. I almost felt bad to cut her, all majestic as heck. But.. I felt she'd bring more joy in the house, the petals will get dried and used (we're #craftygirls + #witchywomen here, Abby and I, 🖤) And the freeze would've ended her sooner outside anyway. . Life is like that, yeah? Messy and unpredictable. Bright pops of pretty color in the middle of the dreary parts, that you'll miss if you're not looking for them. . So, I'm always looking.... 🖤 . How's your weather? Still hot, actual real legit fall, or trying to skip hop on to winter too?? #winteristhenewfall, lol. . #fallroses #backyardgarden #backyardroses #pickingflowers #fallflowers #coldweather #pnwweather #pnwgirl #pnwgarden #momathome #simplegirl #flowersmakemehappy #greenwitch #gardenwitch #natureisgoodforthesoul #simpleliving https://www.instagram.com/p/B3CudMCB2AD/?igshid=eua2skg40k9o
