sharing space…

to thyself…

“Best be yourself, imperial, plain and true!” Robert Browning

Backyard flush of color…

First Clematis, Rhody’s yet to burst, Dogwoods colorful. Roses waiting to make their much awaited entrance. The new growth and colors lifts one’s spirit.

last blooms

a tenacious little rose but forth one of it’s most beautiful blooms in December! I was appreciative as I strung the Christmas lights in the cold wind.

Fall favors…

the garden is pretty much kaput…what roses have struggling buds will not see them bloom. Everything else is battered from heavy winds and rains…save the Fall flowering Clematis I introduced last year. It is a refreshing, if now somewhat limited, display of color when everything is gone or retreating. 

Last Kaboom!!!

second chances…

this clematis bloomed in the Spring and is offering up some Fall blooms as well now…. I like second chances
