Morning glory clings to a rose plus a bud
A persistent morning glory vine slowly encircles the rose. Our vine blooms are all white.
Here’s another bud with a rose on the way. The rose bush is still producing flowers.

A rose two days later
Saturday morning against a gray sky
The same rose Monday morning
Watching the progression of blooms is always a wonder to behold.
Roses after the rain
Rose against a gray sky, morning glory vine grows under the bloom
Getting ready to open
Bet there are fresh raindrops caught in the bloom
Color is peaking through, delicate drops perched on the bud
We had an nice surprise when an unexpected downpour came through right after 12 noon. We had a good 20 minute heavy shower. The air is so fresh and clean right after a rain. Earth’s local cleaning service…
Our roses continue to bloom
This rose is blooming on the rose arbor in the front of our house. This beauty is soon to be joined by three others that are getting ready to show their color as well.
The rose got here
Remember back on May 24th we posted this picture (on the left) of a rose bud and said the rose was “on the way”. Well, here we are 5 days later and we have been blessed with a beautiful blooming rose that did get here. It is remarkable how Nature brings about so many dynamic examples of growth and development. There is something just so mystical about roses…
Some plants around our yard
Here’s a little photo tour of some of the foliage in our yard.
The trees are now fully in leaf. The roses are beginning to bloom, herbs are growing very nicely and the honeysuckle is in full bloom and hopefully will help the hummingbirds. Seems like the grass needs mowed every third day. Spring is here, summer is on the way.
Remembering summer warmth
Let’s take a break from the cold and snow and remember how nice summertime is with flowers and bugs and warm temperatures.
A frosty gallery
This morning we woke to a very heavy frost. These pictures were captured at 10 o’clock, with the ambient temperature still at 28 F.
Frost covered sage
Rose leaf edges attracted the frost
Another leaf edge with heavy frost
A heavy frost should not be a surprise: Winter Solstice is three days away!
