JB ~ Beautiful roses. Yes, I have tried with roses here and probably could grow them if that is all I grew. If I grow them outside the fenced area, I must remember to use the deer repellant. Actually, one of my mini-roses is 6" high, much to my amazement. I must have sprayed it...LOL!! It is in the "peach-of-a-garden". I also sprayed everything else in there as the tulips have already been eaten to the ground and other things just have the buds eaten off. I don't seem to get them at just the right time when they emerge from the snow. I don't go out in the snow to spray, sorry! Then, I am the one who is sorry!

It's good that you had some daffs to sell after all that wind.

No snow lately, just a little hail and more rain. And then some more today. It hailed yesterday after I had almost finished up the last bag of mulch onto the new bed. And then it rained, I think it may have rained all night. This morning I went to get the new batch of mulch to finish this bed and sure enough when I was about done, it started to rain again. It was too wet to do anything else. So I went in and got ready to go to a memorial service. My husband went with me and we did a little shopping beforehand. Got everything on our lists. Then we went and proceeded to eat too much. Why do they serve food at these functions? I am still full! I was just so hungry! It was raining lightly when we left and rained more on the way home. (Do April showers really bring May flowers?? Well they had better!)

Jeanette ~ Did I ask you about Charles Grimaldi brug? Do you have one? Someone told me they were hardy to zone 8, or I read it somewhere, and since I never grew them before, I planted them in the ground. Lost them all. That was several years ago and I have been too busy to think about them. If they don't grow in this zone, maybe I should not try them. Do you have a nice space for them indoors and keep them going, or do you let them go dormant?

Katie ~ I sure hope the doctor is able to fix your foot. It must be terrible to be in so much pain all of the time. I know what you mean by trying to do something you love in order to distract yourself from the pain. I am glad that you are resting up for the trip.

Linda ~ Speaking of feet, I am glad that your foot is finally better. It must be a relief that you are on the road to recovery as it has been a long battle for you.

Dave ~ I sure hope that you are feeling better soon. This has gone on long enough! Well, I am sure you would agree with me on that point! Seriously, what else can you do but take pain meds and rest? Well, in any case, you are in my prayers.

In fact, all of you are in my thoughts and prayers. We each seem to have our challenges, and we are all trying to do what we can to go forward.


Please, everyone, all...have a wonderful Happy Easter!
