Garden Potential

Wonderful idea! A garden journal to keep track of plants and the joy of watching them bloom!

Thinking about my new flower bed and getting ideas for what to plant. I love the potential that spring brings. The potential of what could be... a dream.... that may or may not happen.... the beauty that nature brings to us as a gift... I love most to see my antique roses blooming in my backyard and think of my friend Rhonda and our trek down to  Needville. A gentleman's wife died and the rosary was her idea. Once she passed, he didn't have the heart to keep it going, so he sold off all of the inventory. My friend and I gathered up some antique beauties and planted them in our yards. Rhonda moved to the city and I don't get to see her as much these days. I always remember her friendship when I see my beautiful roses blossoming in the summer sun!

Inspired by spring

The weather has been gorgeous in Texas the last few weeks. Cleaned out flower beds and ready for some spring blossoms. I'm getting ready to purchase some bedding plants for the pots out back and trying to clean up the yard a bit. Daddy-O pruned my antique rose bushes and cleared out the old Morning Glory bush. I absolutely love to see my beautiful roses blooming away in the summer sun. At some point though, it just gets too hot to enjoy the yard and everything goes a little crazy out there. By August, my beds look overrun, But by for the next few months, they're beautiful. I am going to get a new camera and hope to begin posting pictures. It's a very busy time for me with work and scouts right now. Looking forward to spring break and getting some productive house cleaning/yard cleaning done. Bring on the sunshine!!
