I am an unfinished work, and so are many of my projects. This blog is just an odd collection of things I make and do.

Roses

My roses are blooming in spite of the rainy spring.  I pruned them last year, and gave them rose food early this spring, since I happened to find a bag of rose food spikes when we were sorting the garage.  Kevin has helped a lot with the roses, especially enjoying keeping the dead ones trimmed off for me.


The first one to bloom was gorgeous but rather shy, 
peeking out from deep in the foliage.



After that the yellow bush decided to go wild 
and bloom with dozens at once.



And here's a closer look at one vivid yellow rosebud. 
Yellow roses are for friendship, 
so here's a salute to my friends.

So pretty. I love yellow roses. The orange ones are my favourite though.

I miss my rose bushes we had at our old house. Enjoy them.
