Major Update (soon)

05.17.04 (6:10 am) [edit]

=http://img28.photobucket.com/... align=left width=175It's been so long that I don't know where to really begin. So I'll begin with my current joy. My roses. The first year I moved in I saw all the beautiful roses all over the yard and thought, dear God, those will be the first things I kill. I had heard they were hard to manage and keep, required lots of maintanance and upkeep, etc. And kill some I did. I also damaged some beyond repair. I pruned them in the fall instead of the late winter. I pruned them too much. Many failed. *sigh* You live, you learn.

I have since discovered the joys of rose fertilizer and did a smidge of research online to find out the proper way to care for them. I just cut one beautiful perfect bloom and placed it in a small vase on my kitchen counter and the fragrance fills the whole room.

The red rose is a climbing variety that is making it's way up the side of my deck. It's currently almost 2 stories tall. The pink rose is a miniature rose from one of my flower beds. Both are in full bloom.
