BETTER HURRY

before the roses fade away. I have a huge, botanical, rose bush, and from one day to another it is full of roses. All insects love it. I too of course.
But the roses flower not for a long time.
In the afternoon we wanted to go for a walk along the Weser, but fate decided otherwise, it started to rain very hard and , we heard thundering, not really close by, but still not an invitation for a walk.

I had watered some plants in the morning and I had cleaned the containers outside. Seemed a good idea, but the rain has splattered them dirty again.

My haiku:

As many roses
There were bees and busily
I heard them buzzing

And the proverb:

'After you' is good manners.
