VALENTINE FLOWERS

FOTD – February 14 – Valentine’s Flowers We don't celebrate Valentine's Day. Actually, I don't celebrate it. I'm sure Garry would if he thought I'd enjoy it because he just likes holidays. I think it's a fake holiday invented by greeting card and chocolate companies. The whole point of the holiday is to get people … Continue reading VALENTINE FLOWERS

ROSES ARE RED

Red Roses as we enter the last days of July This month really flew by. It has been very hot a lot of time and ultra super sticky and humid. We're getting a nice day today. The sky dropped more than an inch and a half here last night. The rain was so heavy it … Continue reading ROSES ARE RED

The mix of red and gold with hints of dark blue and purple. This is the time of year for gardens. There are autumn flowers too, but by then, our gardens are dwarfed … Continue reading SUMMER’S BRIGHTEST COLORS

This year, it started raining last fall and didn't stop until this month. It is still raining far more often than normal … Continue reading AN AMAZING GARDEN IN JUNE

LILIES AND ROSES

FOTD – March 15 – Lilies and Rose Today we went out. It was a beautiful day. Sunny, warm with a light breeze. Too bad it's not going to last but it was great getting three nice days in a single week. I didn't bring my camera, but I got a good look at the garden … Continue reading LILIES AND ROSES

A ROSE IS A ROSE

FOTD – April 28 – ROSES The lilies and the roses live happily together in the vase in the living room. I love this color. It's deep orange, but its color changed depending on the way the light hits it.
