Hey Porter!

It's been a rough week at work this week. Seems like I had more unhappy customers on the phone than usual (and that's a bunch.) It felt like the harder I tried, the worst things got. I was so glad to see Friday finally get here. I went out in my front yard this evening after I got home and tried to relax some. My wife planted these roses out by the corner of the house a couple of years ago. They are really thriving in this nice fall weather. As I was photographing them, I couldn't help but think of this old Porter Wagoner tune:

JUST A ROSE WILL DO

When time shall come for my leaving
When I bid you adieu
Don't spend your money for flowers
Just a rose will do.

Chorus:
I'll go to a beautiful garden
At last when life's work is through.
Don't spend your money for flowers
Just a rose will do.

I'll need no organization
To make a bid to-do,
I'll need no fine decorations,
Just a rose will do.

Just have an old-fashioned preacher
To preach a sermon or two
Don't spend your money for flowers
Just a rose will do.
