The Garden June 2013 June 14, 2013

Lots and lots of rain, and lots of heat have made this a great year for the garden, roses especially; everything has grown so fast we can hardly keep up with the changes. Nothing lasts too long, alas-- peonies, roses, mock orange blossoms, poppies, and many other blooms as well, come and go much too fast, a good reminder to enjoy them (and other things as well) while they are here to be enjoyed.
