This time I saw our wonderful neighbor through the window and when I opened the door he was holding these. A crop from the rose bush he and his wife planted and they wanted to share with our surrounding neighbors. This is also the neighbor that cut our lawn without us asking. What a tremendous lesson for my boys. We talked about how Mr. R. did something kind in bringing over these flowers and how grateful we are to have thoughtful neighbors.
