Well, Summer's winding down here. We've got our monsoonal moisture coming through, which means hail, massive thunderstorms, and lots & lots of lightning. But it also brings about a second flush of purdies! Yay! My roses did NOT like this huge heat we had this summer... too hot too fast. My average waterbill was well over $120/month, which is ridiculous considering I have a 100% xeric yard. But I wasn't going to lose my roses due to heat! Bad enough I lost a couple of trees (baby trees). But the Denver Broncos are in training camp & the Canadian Geese are starting to V up in formation in force. I just can't wait for that first snow storm on the mountains!

Here's a really pretty Sheila's Perfume bud I snapped last night, though.
Roses are one of my passions! Just opened, my Etsy shop (to fund my rose hobby)! http://www.etsy.com/shop/Tweet...
