the year of the rose
May 06, 2013
We were supposed to wake to a thunderstorm this morning, and rain would have been so welcome. Instead, more beautiful weather, and of course I have no complaints. Below is our view from our bedroom door. I grabbed my phone and took a walk even before coffee! Every rose grower in my town says this year their roses are going crazy.

Although now as I arrange flowers and write this post, it's clouding up.
We'd appreciate any old sprinkle that wanders our way.

ReplyDeleteKristen, just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your blog. I first came across it last October and have been an avid reader ever since. Here in West Yorkshire it will be a little while yet before our roses are in bloom.
ReplyDeleteSTOP IT!!!!! THAT'S the view from your bedroom door?!??!?!! Wow...TOTALLY worth waking up to!!! I hope that rain moves in for you. We'd gladly send you some of ours if we could, but I don't think it works that way! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Kristin! We got the thunderstorm last night and it was a doozy! Your roses are beautiful, and I'm always interested in a repeat blooming climber. The Blaze is very pretty!
ReplyDeleteIf you ever get another dog, I think you should name her Rosie.
