Even after several days of very hard frosts and below freezing temperatures one brave rose has come into flower.
The rose is Blue Moon and planted in memory of Smokey Joe who died in 1987, almost 30 years before Flynn.
I am joining Sandee at Comedy Plus for the blog hop.
It's beautiful, and like most cats, determined to do as it pleases.
