The Yellow Rose of Texas

These photos are of the rose bush in my mother's front yard. She mentioned that it was not in full bloom yet, and you will have to use your imagination to get an idea of how it can look when it is. It is certainly covered with buds.

That last picture of the roses in the rain shows what the weather has been like most of the time I have been here. Today we had some lovely weather, however, which made our trip to Tyler with my aunt for lunch and a bit of shopping quite enjoyable.

"She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew.
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.
Gimme talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosalie,
But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me."

~ George Don
