Can Plants Sense Your Feelings?
In my front garden there is a rose bush called Double Delight. Despite the drought and poor soil, despite the limited care and despite the harsh conditions this rose bush continues to produce roses that delight month after month.
This morning I was blessed with the sight of more beautiful roses on display.
It was almost as if the rose bush had sensed my melancholy mood and decided to brighten my day with this wonderful display.
