First rose

Looking a little battered from the heavy rain we had two nights ago.  There are two or three other bursting buds on this rose bush which I hadn't noticed til today.

Spent the morning with several others spring cleaning our little church.  Dusting, polishing, removing the spiders webs, airing the seat cushions outside in the sun and washing the floor really made a difference by the time we had finished!  Visitors turned up in the middle of the chaos but they didn't seem to mind.
