What a long day! What a busy weekend, and not necessarily in a good way! So what have I got for you?
That’s right! More lousy roses! (It’s right there in the title!)
I thought that I still had some photos on my phone that I hadn’t used yet. And I was right! (Blow this one up and look at the vein structure detail in those petals!)
These are gorgeous (and I’m particularly fond of gorgeous) and I enjoy sharing them.
The more I look at houses in the high desert (either Lancaster/Palmdale or Hesperia/Apple Valley) and how they have really nice houses plopped down into an acre of slightly graded dirt with no lawn, no landscaping, no NOTHING, the more I know that if we end up getting one of those places, I’m going to harken back to my English heritage (a LOT of generations ago, like, going back to 1664) and start building little gardens to putter around in.
Putter, putter, putter…

The trend in English gardens is towards more prairie-style planting with native grasses and wildflowers, with the aim of stabilising the soil and minimising water use. Just saying 😉

Great! So now I’ve got to add an element of time travel back to the Victorian era or I’ll be an anachronism! Probably just as well, tweed sounds uncomfortable to wear in 115° temps. (But it’s a DRY heat!)
