First Roses

Thought of the Day … Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into. -Henry Beecher, Life Thoughts, 1858

As you may recall, I’ve complained about the Pacific Northwest weather. There is one thing that makes all that rain worth while…

Our first roses… I didn’t get photos of my first rose this year, but it was time to “deadhead” [remove dead flowerheads from a plant to encourage further blooming] so I wanted to share what I saw this morning…

These are SOOC* (gotta get to work…)
