OK, so it is raining here in Mass. - I am now officially crying - so many pictures - so beautiful. I have six roses on the way - EBB TIDE. I planned to make a round or oval bed in my large front lawn. It is south facing - no fence - just lawn straight to the street. I have a little rock garden and that's all. I gardened for years and then got divorced. "THAT" house is a block away from where I live now. I feel so burnt out and so sad that I have to START ALL OVER AGAIN. And I am not accustomed to the weird layout of this house. If I put the roses in the center of a bed - what should I put around them on the outside of the circle? All your beautiful picture are of large spces or areas that are strictly roses - except winner of the award person - I can't even mention her name or I will start crying all over again. Please help - I am open to all suggestions. I live in metrowest Boston. Please send me a plan for a bed on a front lawn - full sun that can incorporate my 6 EBB TIDES? Someone take some pity M

My sister in law had a no pink rule too for a while, she wanted unisex clothing in organic cotton and natural fabrics so we complied (not difficult for me, I don't like pink). About the time their daughter was starting school and could express what she wanted to wear, that little thing wanted pink, glitter, sparkles, more pink. She looked like Tinkerbelle for about the following 5 years.

Wow-you look so young! What great looking children & grand children you have. You are very blessed!!

Wow, Sydney has really grown into a beautiful young lady. Very cute kids and grandkids!
