Mom's Favorite Rose Buds

This may seem a small moment....but Mom's roses are blooming. She planted them in the half barrels and always loved the tiny rosebuds when they appeared.

I walk by them daily as I put the birds outside and it makes me feel closer to her. These tiny little buds are simple and beautiful. They were her favorites. I'm still hoping her gardening skills will surface within me.

Life Goes On


Hello!
Not sure if anyone ever checks this blog but I wanted to say hello and share some thoughts.
All goes well around here. I am kept busy with the bird business and Paul is here daily to work on his cars in the driveway. We both meet by the pond to catch up with each other's lives. The turtles are always calming.
Still looking for the right tenant for the Studio Apt but cannot be in a hurry. The right person will come along.

1073 Front Door and Elephants



Here are some new photos. Auntie Lou's Black Elephants sat on her mantle for years. I don't know the story behind them but they evoke fond memories of 68 Fairview! Now they reside at my foyer windows. Outside on the porch, my Japanese maple is leafing out and my "hobbit succulent" is getting bigger! If you know anything about the elephants, please leave a comment below! Thank you. gayle
