Alan, your yard looked gorgeous and still does. Our yard changes as we change. It might not be as exuberant as when we were younger but what we lost in exuberance we gain in ellegance. At least , that is what I keep telling myself.
I am sorry for not posting but with my mom's desease and with her passing I was to overwhelmed to do much.
I am trying to get back into grove , though it is very hard.

Alan, Love the favorite picture you shared. Looks like a cottage garden I once painted! I hear you too about getting older and like Susie's idea of a commune. How fun that would be!

(Welcome back Rodica...missed you and feel so sad for you)

Gee, Rodica, I, too, am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. You'll miss her, I know. Tough couple of years for you. For lots of us! Take good care of yourself.

Thank you all. I am so lucky to have such a large support group. I would have never been able to go through this ordeal without all my family and lots and lots of friends.

Thanks again.

Very, very beautiful, Alan! I have a wish list in my computer for around $200 worth of bare root David Austin roses... hoping I can get them! Time for us to start a new rose garden up here! Thanks for sharing your lovely gardens

Alan,

Your roses are looking wonderful ! What a labor of love.
I love Just Joey too, but I did not have any luck with it. it died on me.
Do you remember the name of the dark red rose that I got from your front yard? I know it starts with Pink and the other word starts with Gru ot Gu....something.
I tried to find it on Internet but I did not find anything.
