American Beauty

Our American Beauty in bloom

Have you ever received a gift that was so great you wished you'd have thought of it? When our daughter was born, my sister-in-law gave us an American Beauty rose bush. It has turned out to be one of the best gifts ever.

It sits on the side of the house under the kitchen bay window. My daughter sits right above it and can keep an eye on it's progress throughout the spring and summer. I can say this because the beauty of this American Beauty is that it continues to bloom for months. The most lucious pink flowers. It's so gorgeous that even my neighbor took a picture of it.

I love that it is a gift that keeps on giving and is always a reminder of my daughter. Some day she will grow up and move away, but the American Beauty will remain.
