Cindi - I figured that y'all got hit pretty bad with those storms that brew here & then build up heavily on the plains. The plains have been getting a LOT of welcoming moisture this summer.. it's gonna be a good year for them finally (it was looking like a Dustbowl last year). Sad thing is that it builds on the mountains, blows right over town, and then beats the snot outta the plains less than 10 miles from me and I don't get a drop. Bleh!
Right now, only have like one rose that's looking gorgeous.. Voluptuous! Everyone else is getting ready to explode I hope... this has been a sparse year for blooms because winter would NOT let go.
