'Ah, the roses! Surely, Sean, you recall the roses?'
Do click on the image to get a grand closeup of one of my rosebushes I just took only a few minutes ago. Spring is definitely here, starting with the butterflies last Saturday, and now my roses are bursting out all over. Michele inspired my rose-blogging with her crocus dance'o'spring. Hey, if Glenn Reynolds can do cat-blogging, I'm happy to do a rose post or two!
Today the weather is warm and bright. The rose is a Betty Boop. Eric surprised me with it for my birthday a few years ago. I keep her in a terracotta pot on the patio, spoil her with attention and she rewards me with lots of roses. Not a lot of fragrance but a showy gal who is covered in buds and ready to make a spectacular entrance.
I have a couple of climbing roses, Don Juans, that are blood red and a few in a vase will scent a whole room! MMMMmmm. I'd enjoy my gardening more if I actually had the time to spend on it! I know, gratuitous whine.
And house envy. We lease the house we live in right now, and I'm just not inspired to put a lot of extra gardening in for the benefit of the landlord. We are looking to make a home purchase this summer and THAT will be an adventure I'll share.
So can I live this spring gardening season through y'all? Tell me what your gardening plans are! Please?
