Blue Skies and Pink Roses

What a glorious day this would be! Imagine a garden filled with your favorite pink roses and the most wonderful scent of roses filling the air!

My perfect pink rose garden would include every imaginable shade of pink from the palest “barely there” pink to the darkest “almost red” pink. I would have English Roses as well as Hybrid Tea Roses. I love both of these rose types. What kind of pink roses would fill your perfect pink rose garden?

Patience has a new outfit to show you and it’s filled with pink roses!

Patience found a little bunny hopping around her rose garden. Look at how friendly he is.

A Shower of Roses

As we move towards April I am aware of the chant, “April showers bring May flowers”, and I always think to myself that it’s the “April showers” bit that I wish we could leap right over to get to the good part, the “May flowers”. However, we need the rain to wash away the winter grime to make everything outside shiny and new. Of course the rain helps to restart the growth on the trees and plants too.

As I finished embroidering this sweater for the Little Darling the little rosebuds trailing down the sweater reminded me of a spring rain shower, one that is gentle and warm, and (my favorite part) with the sunshine following close behind.

What a Difference 10 Days Make!

This first photo was taken on March 3, exactly 10 days ago. We were in the midst of a snowstorm. I’ll admit it was very pretty at the time. But…

look at it now. We’re heading towards 60 degrees today. SO, SO happy! I feel like I am in a foreign land after so many days of very cold temps.There’s still some snow hanging around, but barely. It really feels like spring is on the way. 🙂

This is now my view outside my sewing room window. Our swimming pool is still looking quite icy cold, but at least we can see it.

In the last day or so the snow has melted and left behind the very first signs of spring, crocuses and daffodils starting to grow into their spring “gloriousness” .
