Just cut some more roses, not that we're experiencing any sort of shortage. There are buds galore out there, and we should have plenty to enjoy for several more days. When our next door neighbor moved into an assisted living apartment a couple of years before she died, the new neighbors put up a wooden fence between our houses separating the backyards. Before that, we'd had only a chain link fence between us. The guys who put up the fence set the posts so that the original climber rose would be on our side. The new neighbors didn't care and hadn't known the woman they'd bought the house from, so we've been able to cut slips and start 4 pieces, giving one away to another neighbor and having 3 of our own. The only downfall is that the ones we planted in the front yard are left to sprawl, being that they're in the flower beds and not against a vertical surface. But even so, they're all good-sized now, and are a real treat come Spring.
Now I'm just hoping for a weekend that rains out all planned activities. ;) Not that there are any, but a couple of days with not needing to run errands or do stuff sounds plenty inviting. Should be a dandy rainstorm during the night (that's why I cut the flowers), and the weekend is supposed to be wet.
Must fetch all my cactus and Jade potted plants in from the front porch so that they won't get scared with the thunder and lightning. My babies. While I might shudder with these darned African Violets (and Mona is still alive and well, thank you!), the cactus are more forgiving.
As for now...it's time to quit.
