Happy Birthday,
Valerie.

You need to drop by and visit more often. I am leaving you a little preview of coming attractions, a garden near you.

Ann, thanks for the thought. My mug is well over 40 and I believe should be shelved, but I think you are talking of different mug??? LA, yesterday was the day, now I'm aiming towards next year. Lori, you are a dear. I dream one day of seeing your garden, as I know from the pictures that it is beautiful. George, as you know the sibes are not spoiled by me, only guests that come for dinner and feed them under the table when I'm not looking. So they get no cake, chocolate or otherwise. Ingrid, thank you. And we are all looking forward to seeing your garden grow. Aisha, it is almost worth having a birthday, to have your good wishes. You have been missed and I hope that you will visit more often. Welcome back! Olga, I would so like to meet you and see your garden. Perhaps one day a visit to Maryland to see the famous gardens of The Elf and Olga. Andrea, you are a joy to know. Hope you can make it up for Dirt Day. File all the taxes on the 16th, no one cares. Thank you Judith. How did you know that I love Sharifa of the fabulous fragrance? Melissa, my friend John did this tongue in cheek. I was over the hill a long time ago. Thank you, Italy is on my list and I hope to see your garden sometime soon, when the dollar has some value. Carol

I like the name too. ramblinrosez7b, thank you, that bouquet of Peace is just dazzling, no wonder NJ is the "garden state". Wow. Thank you Karen, I love Chicago and Chicago Peace too.

Thank you, Melva! When is autumn going to come to our place? George, that's a great sight. Would love to visit there myself someday. Thanks, Carla. Hope you're having fun on your trip. Eric, now that's purple! Gotta love RdV. Okay, Hamp, I will try to slow those birthdays down. They have been coming awfully quickly lately. Good thing you & I just keep getting better and better rather than older and older. And thank you for "testing the waters" with your RdV, so that I finally had the courage to try one too! Okay, Judith, now I feel a little bit better :-) Yes, we'll just have to wait until autumn or next spring to see our roses back in their full glory. redbirds, you are right, it'll soon be SEC football time! I hope my Razorbacks will be ready, with their new coach. Should be interesting. I sure like the looks of that Tamora! At least I think that's what it is. Comtesse de Provence looks great. I'm not familiar with that beauty. Cupshaped, your 'Heritage' is so incredible. Excellent shots of one of my most favorite roses. Randy

Olga - I'm near Ashton in NE Montgomery Co., on Haviland Mill Rd, off New Hampshire Ave and about 5 miles East of Olney ~ 12 miles N of the DC Beltway. Since there are several of us who grow OGRs in the area, perhaps we could benefit by getting together. I formed a heritage roses group here back in the early 1980s that had a short but fun run. Perhaps we can do something more interactive again, not necessarily a formal group, but who knows. I for one can learn much from all of you here on the forum, but also here in the area. - Best

Hey Valerie! I hope you have a very happy birthday today. BTW I now have a "two wheeler". Yep, easier to push than one of the "onewheelers". Used it all morning spreading mulch.
I'm looking forward to seeing some of your gorgeous pictures this season.

Oh my goodness, how on earth did I miss this post??? Thankfully a friend sent me the link. I don't know where to begin to thank you all for the beautiful pictures and good wishes, they really all made me smile and wish I had more time to come here.

I have severe spring fever and cannot wait to get out there digging and planting. I will surely share lots of pics of my roses with you all when I get a vacation this summer. Buddy continues to thrive right along with me here in our new home, life is good but living alone means I need to work a bit more than usual, hence my absense from here, but please be assured that I think of each and everyone of you often. Life will settle down into a better routine soon I am sure but for now my goal has to be work and buying new roses, LOL.

Thank you all for thinking of me and remembering my special day. I did take that day off from work and spoiled myself rotten with some movies, a good newspaper and a nice meal with a little cake and strawberries, it was truly an enjoyable day, so thanks one more time, your pink roses make me long for mine to be in bloom soon with 27 new additions expected this spring.

Bless you all.

Valerie and Buddy
