My old found rosebushes are blooming, I got this rose bush from my mother, who had gotten it from her mother, we are not sure where it came from before that or even it's name, but this rose, well you know its about to burst open before it does because it smells soo good, then it opens and POW in your face, loaded with tons of blossoms with a bazillion petals, when I was a kid, my sister and brother and I used to grab off the nearly done roses and bomb each other with them, there would be petals everywhere! we smelled good though HA HA
they are fading and dropping, just like when we were kids and would torment each other with them
I found my photo from 2005 so you can see how bright they are when they first open, its not the best photo because my camera wasn't very good then and trying to blow it up didn't help
oh well, will just have to keep watch and get more good new photos of it up close
geesh, I opened up the bathroom window cuz it's such a prety day, and there lays Scooter, she is dead to the world, I had to get my camera, but she really is just having a very good sleep, scared me for sure though when I first seen her
planter on front deck is starting to fill in
my rocks are finally all done around the fish pond
dirty birds, they love sitting on the hand railing and the pond, they get lots of drinks in there
