Rooting for the roses
The front corner rose bush has made it through another winter, we think, hope, pretty much know. Thank you, nature.
Hello, little lavender
I very much appreciate how the colors pop out one-by-in as we continue through spring in our front yard. Taking its turn right now is the lovely lavendar.
Rooting for the roses
The big rose bush up front is showing signs up greening up. Yes, another reason I’m a fan of the arrival of spring.
New plants will add energy to the front yard
My dear wife Karen got to dig in the dirt Sunday. Two of the plants we took home from Ballantyne Gardens are now adding a splash of purple to the front yard. And the knock out rose bush has its new circle of life all planned out. Yahoo!
Hello, Rose of Sharon (and more)

Peony couplets
