Perfection!

I had a post all written and it blew up. Somehow my link between Flickr and Blogger became ill and in the process my post when up in smoke. My brain hurts now so I am going to give you the condensed version of what I wrote.

This rose is beautiful just the way it is. Imperfections and all....

Jimmy and I went back to The Park of Roses over the weekend. The many buds we saw the previous weekend were popped open and it was glorious.

This rose is a reminder to me. I am human and I am beautiful with all of my imperfections.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Gardening & Roses

Saturday morning I finished planting the garden. Poo was restricted to inside the house because we had the back gate propped open. He wasn't very happy:



It's amazing what one week and lots of rain will do for the Clematis. WOW there was only one blossom a week ago!



This is a broad view of our back yard.



The Kale, Chard and romaine are coming along nicely.



The kitty pot is doing amazing too!



Saturday evening my husband and I went to the Park of Roses. Let me just say if you are in or around the Columbus area please take a ride over there in the next 10 days. I would guess there are 1,000,000+/- buds ready to pop and the smell is going to be fantastic.



These buds are just a sample of the spectacular to come....



I love love love this picture and I hope you do too.
