Two Icons from the Suburbs
Nov. 8th, 2009 10:08 pmI fixed the Twilight Zone icon from yesterday, so here it is for LJ watchers:
But the icon for this post is different:
This icon comes from a picture taken by my dad of the rose bush in front of our house. Before being in front of our house, it was in the yard of my aunt Debbie who died six years ago.
There've always been rosebushes in my mother's family. I remember helping (or rather "helping" as young children are often employed) my grandmother to do something with the roses in the yard of her Sherman Oaks home. It might be that this rosebush was originally one of my grandmother's; I've lost track of the lineage of roses.
I don't think my mother's been as diligent in her upkeep, but we live in Los Angeles, and we can get pretty lucky with plants, and so the flowers come out when they feel like it, and survive until the next time.
