Dried up Lantana.
So on Saturday when Jim said we were going to stay home and do work around the house (BAWW) I was disappointed. So, after grocery shopping and shoe shopping (Yah! for new running shoes), I finally decided it was time to get serious. Doing laundry in the house on a 70 degree day was not too exciting so I soon joined Jim outside to help cut back the trees and bushes.
I was soon super interested after I cut off the dead stuff because I saw this....
And poking through the dead leaves was this..

The roses have lots of new growth
In fact....the roses never quit blooming this winter
So after a particularly stressful week full of water leaks, being home alone (Jim had a quick trip to San Diego), and a stressful job, I could finally let go and enjoyed the little beauties that are right in front of me.

Wow--love the bursts of color in these pictures. This reassurance did me good--the sun tried to peek through today, but couldn't quite cut the gray. Ah, Washington. :)
Great pictures Donna! I did see the moon and it was beautiful!! What kind of roses do you grow there? I've had luck with knock-out's but they aren't as pretty as yours.
great pics as usual! i especially liked the goldfinch.
Thanks, enjoyed as always!
Those pictures are GREAT!! And the captions are sooooo nice also!!! Today I went out in the yard...and saw new growth on our roses, and to my surprise I found snapdragons growing from last year...never froze all winter..wow!!! Still wish I was in Az this time of year, though!!
