The long evenings of a northern June bring the lingering soft twilight of late spring. This Seven Sisters rose grows outside my kitchen window at Cedar Bluff. Awash with deep green leaves and slender, but fattening buds, the rose is a favorite resting spot for hummingbirds. Silhouetted against gray shingles and highlighted by the warm pink setting sun, the rose arches tenderly into the solstice week of summer 2011.
