girl can't help it

I know, I know - I admit it - I've already posted a plethora of photos of my front roses starting to bloom. And I apologize. But see, what you don't know is... how there used to be only sparse white iceberg roses there - until last January when my youngest son and I planted 12 pink Queen Elizabeth hybrid tea roses in between each iceberg rose bush. I've never, ever had pink roses before! And I've never had tea roses before - I will actually be able to have fresh cut roses to bring inside! And the more they bloom - so large and so gorgeous - the more delighted I become! And come on now... how could I refuse to post this picture of my precious Luna and Angel, posing so nicely in front of all these beautiful blooms!?!?

Have a very happy and very PINK day :)

first buds and blooms

Good morning and happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend. Here in California the weather was absolutely gorgeous - definitely the most beautiful spring weekend ever! I heard it was similar spring weather near and far over much of the nation - hopefully in your back yard along with mine.

I am sad to say my weekend of photography was upstaged by a wicked migraine I woke up with Saturday morning. However I still took advantage of the amazing weather outside. I took my medication, poured a nice diet Coke, and relaxed on the trampoline in the sunshine most of the day! I will not complain!

And as I felt a bit better I took a few snapshots of my roses that were finally in full bloom. I had been following the very first pink bud as it progressed, and here it is for you to see - finally blooming so beautifully along with all the other buds that are now in abundance. So lovely!  



Does this look like one little happy rose or what! Happy happy joy joy :)
