lasts and firsts


A new year - 2010 - a whole new decade! Wow!
I hope all of you had a happy New Year's Eve and a lovely New Year's Day to start the year out right.
Our Christmas and New Year's has been blessed with friends and family and very full hearts :)

These are the last 2 blooms from my rose bushes - particularly beautiful I thought.
I spent New Year's Day yesterday watching the Rose Parade (can't even remember the last time I did that),
and then cutting back my 17 rose bushes in order to give them a little rest to store some energy. 
Not as necessary here in California, I know... but who can't use a little rest to store up some energy?
And a few months from now, we will welcome their first beautiful blooms in the spring.

~ It is a time of renewal ~

  4. I love the PINK roses, and the new blog turquoise background. I think I need a trimming--to stock up on a bit of energy!
