April showers are providing us with pretty roses before May. Ever-Lovin’ was watching Pretty Baby in the backyard when he stuck his head in the den door and exclaimed, “You need to get your camera and take a picture of the roses before the storms destroy them”. I got Trusty Camera, and the roses are […]
You might have missed the Tyler Rose Festival (Plan to go next year.), but there are still things to see and do on a day trip to Tyler, Texas. For starters, the Rose Garden and Rose Museum are open year round. Visiting the Tyler Rose Garden made my heart sing. Rows and rows of roses […]
Wow! Going to the Texas Rose Festival in Tyler, Texas was this blogger’s nirvana. We partied with thousands of strangers at the Queen’s Tea, attended our first National Rose Show, toured the famed Tyler Rose Gardens, and visited the interesting Rose Museum. All of this happened in the span of about four hours, and all […]
Some post are destined to be continued…. More than one of you asked how to get the Bible that Neighbor Jim shared with me. This Bible provides “step by step how to share your faith.” Inside the Bible is a link to the Time to Revive website where you can purchase the Bibles. There are even options […]
Went to “dead-head” the roses, and had to go back in the house for Trusty Camera. Please bear with me. I have a “thing” for fading flowers. (Gives me hope for my fading years.) After we returned from the trip, and I saw the roses in various stages of blooming – I had to take […]
Miss Jane mentioned that the iris in her garden were blooming. I knew it was time for a look-see. This garden is always beyond wonderful. Not only were the iris blooming, but there were also roses, bluebonnets, columbine, and many others plants. The love and care she puts into creating a lovely environment inspires everyone. Miss […]
The last roses of summer are blooming. (Although I know there will be more.) Seeing the various stages of blooms on this Tahitian Sunset rose made me run for my camera. Yes, it begins a coral bud. As it opens, it becomes pink with a yellow center, and then it fades to white. I am […]
I don’t think we have ever gone to the Dallas Arboretum in August. Too blooming hot! But, was I ever surprised. They actually have flowers blooming in this Texas heat. Sweet Mother of Pearl. Look how pretty this is. The gardens were green and lush. Here is a close up picture. What are these beauties? […]
First, I noticed the landscaping surrounding the meter at a home at the end of my alley. How special for someone to beautify the alley. While I was taking this picture, a friendly young man came out. I told him how much I liked his alley garden, and I would like to blog about […]
Installing piers destroyed my beloved roses. The roses I had purchased for $1.00 a bush. They were beautiful, but crowded in the little bed by the garage. The story I am about to tell is admittedly overkill. My previous roses I picked from the leftovers of the season. They were beautiful, and I loved them. […]
