Roses blooming in the backyard, noticed by accident on the way by with the kiddo this morning (we were planting pumpkin starts – three from the farmers market, and 6 from Nicole and Brian’s extras. If even some of them make it, we’re going to have quite the pumpkin patch in the fall!)
After Kevin took this photo, he snipped them and brought them into the house. They look extravagant and gorgeous on the table. This is from one of the three bushes that I prune once a year and ignore the rest of the time. Benign neglect suits them. I think they really like the mulch that we added last summer – so many more leaves than they used to have.
