Good morning Ness! Lovely morning here brothers and sisters! 53F @ 93% RH, partially cloudy, and predicted to reach 60F. Hugz all around!!!!!!!

Well the wife her Gall Bladder out yesterday. 5 hours sitting in a hospital waiting room. The quintessence of boredom. lol

She is now home recovering. Not doing to bad, She's a little tender and she moves really slow but otherwise she's doing good. Shes a tough lady. They found stones and she had been suffering from acute Pancreatitis, which is extremely painful. She also has suffered from a whole host of digestive issues for years so, we hope this clears a lot of that up. I am her nurse and at her beckon command right now. This was the first real surgery either of us have ever had to have so were both nervous as h.ell yesterday. I'm so glad it all worked out.

Lu lu lu lu lu lu lu lu lu lu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good that the operation was a success and relief is on the way!

A clear calendar today, so will be getting my new raised bed ready for planting.

PS: The rains have sure been hard on ornamental garden blooms. The rhodies and camellias blossoms are pretty well trashed, as are the peonies, and the roses are looking beat up and put away wet.View attachment 300542View attachment 300543View attachment 300545View attachment 300546View attachment 300547View attachment 300548

I love roses. Always have.

The wild roses have the best smell as one walks past them

 

[Unca Walt]

True dat... I remember being nearly intoxicated by the rich scent of summer roses growing wild on the side of the road. I can memory-smell them 75 years later...

I love roses. Always have.

I love all flowers. Just seeing them grow in the wild brings me joy. We had some that grew way out back on a vine that had thorns that would pop through a welding glove like it wasn't even there, but the white flowers were probably an inch or better in size and smelled divine. The smell was the first thing that you noticed before you ever saw them.
Haven't seen them in years, so I'm thinking they bloom and die rapidly. Smelled like the nicest perfume you'd ever smelled.

Me too! There is something special about them. Alliums are a different kind of beauty, and my Lophophora williamsii. "Pretty" has yet to bloom, but keeps dropping pups.

Thanks! A little late in the season for the Rhodendrons, the Camelias. and the Peonies, but we like lots of blossoms, Still the Iris and Day Lilies to show their pretty faces.

The last Black Bear scat that I saw had a Snicker bar wapper included.

Thanks! We love them enough to champion them and keep them happy.
