Eli is 7 already. And much more cooperative about posing...if nothing better is going on, anyhow.

Goofing off.

Waiting for pizza.

Emma is 9!

And waiting for pizza.

And a perfect summer day yesterday.

Thank you, Masha. I've received my plant as a budded scion two years ago. It was part of a large "order" of plants budded from Roses coming from collectors or roseraies in Europe. I have especially to thank Roland Bielski to give us the budwood from his large collection of Teas and Noisettes. Those Roses are still potted (very big pots!), and still under study. I have to know how they do perform here, before to plant them in the garden, there's almost no empty space available and I want to be sure to plant only the very best (for me!). 'CrÃÂ©puscule', for instance, is very beautiful in bud, but the color is quickly washed out by the sun, and the petal crisp even in late spring, not to comment on how they do in summer - scrumbled eggs ready for breakfast :o/. Maybe I'll plant her only if I find the right spot in filtered light (under an Olive tree? mmmmmh....) 'Mlle de Sombreuil' is just perfect, so she really deserves the very best position I can give her. 'Elie Beauvilain' is one of those who's tempting me... a few blooms and my heart was jumping, but how disapponting to see them collapse after only ONE DAY! Would it improve with age? 'Duarte de Oliveira' seems also to have good qualities, but I can't understand how much this plant would grow... HMF list it as a very short climber (150 cm! - 5') and I see that alla in this plant is small: blooms, leaves, prickles... But here doubts come to the surface: it would be just young? to live in a pot? The flowers are small, but lovely in color and shape, and really fragrant. But a beautiful flower is no longer quite enough here!

My baby in the rose. She sure has grown. Sometimes I wonder where time goes.Good pics but could smile more. Too serious looking should have more fun with picture taking.

That first photo is fantastic! They are all good, but #1 is special. The fish photo tells a great story. You can see by the look in his eyes he wants grandpa's praise for catching that fish;~)

Hard to believe Emma is nine already. I see hints of her as a teenager in a couple of those shots. Great pictures, as always, Joan. I love that first one of Emma, complete with nail polish assortment. :-)

What cuties! Love those green eyes.
I noticed the brick wall in the photos and it reminds me of the pizza place in Walker MN near where we vacation. We are headed up that way the first week of Aug. Now I can't wait to have some of that pizza, it is fantastic!

Cherbo, this is at Pizza Pub in Pine City. Best pizza! We always get their special or else cheeseburger pizza, and always start with deep-fried cauliflower w/cheese sauce.
We stayed overnight at Walker a couple of weeks ago, ran into a really bad storm in the RV, and spent the night in the casino parking lot, along with about 25 other RV's.

Well I guess MN has the best Pizzas! We used to stay in a resort near a little town called Pine River. That resort sold it's cabins to individuals so we had to find another resort. It is near Black Duck. I hope we don't have any of those bad storms while we are there.

We were on the way back from Bemidji, dh had done a sewing machine sale at Ben Franklin. He used to do Blackduck, but sales kept dropping off. But when he first went up there, I swear everyone in town bought a serger! We love the area up there, and north, Big Bog Rec. Area on Red Lake.

They have grown! And still so beautiful.

Think I'm going to paint my nails like Emma's. Hope I can get away with it at my age.
