Roses and Rain don't mix well

Distant...





Closer...

Closer...

Closest!

. . . . . . . . . .

The rain has attacked my Roses!

Heavy with moisture and stripped of their leaves.

Most of them are bent over

like a Giraffe reaching for water.

Prune, I must, so that they can survive.

It does make a great bouquet for the nose and eyes.

"Yes, your roses will re-grow the leaves, make buds and flower again but pruning them back by a third will certainly help. It activates their vigour as they try to replace the cut off growth. Use Alfalfa Meal as a sort of rose tonic. You can get it at some garden centers and always at a farm and feed store. Just make sure it isn't the rabbit food Alfalfa Meal only the plain one. I think it is used as horse food. "

Overnight Company

I got to spent the night with Papa and Grandma last night.

It was raining but that didn't stop

us from going for a walk.

I put on my Princess Dress and crown

and wore it all night!

Grandma & I hunted for "treasures"

all over the house and put them

in a basket.

Papa looks like he's asleep but he is really reading.

Good Morning!

Cinnamon toast for breakfast!

Finger licking good!

(No, Mommy and Daddy, I didn't eat all of the toast, Papa had some.)

First Day of Vacation

Today was my first day of vacation.

I don't go back until August 2nd.

~sigh~

After sleeping in, watering flowers, baking, laundry and some shopping,

I took sometime for myself.

Hope the weather improves soon!

Never keep iced tea in the refrigerator for more than a day or two. It loses its pleasing taste.
