Hello everyone! Diane, you mentioned the date a year or so ago, and I put in my phone. I decided that even though I wasn’t posting, I’d wish you a happy birthday no matter what. I hope you had a wonderful day! I hope you had a wonderful day as well Sheila. Belated happy birthday! Trish, thank you for your email. It came right when my mother broke her back, and I kind of forgot to reply with all the hubbub. Plus,I haven’t been really well myself.
Sheila, your rose is lovely! It definitely is a dead ringer for my Flamingo Garden’s Tea. My FGT is doing rather well, in spite of my not really gardening for almost a year. It’s in a barrel, and its roots have surely grown into the ground by now. It has been mostly safe from the rabbits, since it’s protected by the barrel. Yes, I now have rabbits! It’s made me feel rather hopeless about the whole back yard. They live and breed in my small, fenced in yard, safe from the coyotes. Millie has dispatched several youngsters, which has helped a little.
Yes indeed, Millie the three legged kitty is still alive and kicking. She is as sweet as ever and is 5 years old. She does have arthritis in her remaining back leg, which slows her down further, but she keeps her happy spirit. She’s not all that bright, but she’s irresistible with her kitten like personality. She’s overjoyed about everything, and vocally answers to everything said to her. She really enjoys being out in the garden.
I’m keeping the roses alive, and I really hope to get back to gardening again. I’ve had some health setbacks that have made gardening difficult.
I have missed all of you! I do think of all of you often, and I truly hope to come back here again.
The drought has been awful again this past year, although we did receive an inch of rain on Tuesday. We surely need it! I’m tired of water bills in excess of $300.
The pictures above are beautiful! Those brugs are just gorgeous! Flowers, I’m so glad to see a post from you amongst the others! I check the forum once in a while, and I have missed you. Your Versigny is a beauty!
I have really missed all of you. I appreciate all the greetings after I posted for Diane’s birthday. I’m sorry if I didn’t mention everyone by name. I did read and enjoy all of your above posts. Lisa
PS. Hi Carol! Are you back to focusing on your “streps” now that your roses are in the garage?
