No sunshine...but a Rose

The sky is grey today...not a flicker of sunshine anywhere....but...I found this ...

The first rose bloom this spring. It is The Lincoln Rose...and has a lovely light fragrance. What a nice find this dreary morning. Something else I would like to share.....

Oh I know...it is only a garden ornament. Not so....his name is Joey. For my birthday February 2004, my nephew Joe saw this and thought of me...so he this was my gift from him. No, he was not a little boy, but a grown adult. I loved it then and love it now. What he and the family did not know at that time, Mr H and I were planning to leave Rhode Island to move here to Arizona. So Joey came with me and spent it's first year on a small patio in Phoenix and now has a place in our home's garden. When I see it,I think of Joey. The glass flowers were from my son Eric. They fit perfectly in Joey's arms....two people to think of.
Enough sentimental stuff...have any of you watch the Eagle's nest...no, not a movie or program...a real live nest....here. It had been posted by Brenda and I thank her...it has been fascinating to watch the babies hatch and being fed.
I'm sure you want to know if there is an update on Garden Party...sure is...
let's go to my other place and you can see for yourself. I am so happy to have you visit...hope you have a wonderful day.
