Flowers and more flowers!

We've had weather all over the place.  Warm, then cold and rain, then 30 degrees warmer the next day.  Some of my roses buds are a bit damaged by the rains (we got well over an inch), but most everything was happy for the natural water!  No help for our area's water storage due to drought but every drop helps.

Not much new with us, working about outside every day.  We had a lovely visit with Cousins Linda and Don on Wednesday, they came up for the wood from our trees we had cut.  

I'll have to get some new pictures of the new rose beds, many are displaying teeny tiny flower buds!  Woo hoo!

Pictures, pictures!

Double Delight, every rose on this bush is colored
a bit differently.

After the rain.

These were broken branches from the storm.

These too, they fill up with water and bloop, over they go.

All clean after the rain, the tree pollens have been
awful.  The Ponderosa pines are next, then we should be done.

These crazy clematis!  I cut it back hard this winter
and it is already bigger again.  The flowers are bigger than my hand.

Heaven on Earth

These are hiding the leaves!

A panoramic shot from over a week ago.  There is so much more in bloom already!

Melody Parfume, this bush is loaded
and the fragrance is STRONG!
