Mom and Aunt Muriel picked me up for the plant sale, managed to get about 40..looks like it could start raining again at any time, if it doesn't I'll get them all planted..

Mom had brought me a gift and wouldn't let me pay for all my plants, so that was a treat...

My gardens after the rain almost seem to get greener as I watch them, just starting to come alive, another month and it will be a beautiful sight..

Yesterday afternoon I picked up 2 parcels, one from a friend in Ireland and another from our Laura - Australia..as soon as I picked up the special pal gift I had an overwhelming urge to strangle her, she knew that was coming, the gift was much to elaborate to say the least, we've talked a few times and I've agreed to accept it respecting her wish to treat me to my first 'rose gardening' book..I sit in awe looking at all the photo's, such a beautiful gift, I'll be picking up a rose, naming it after Laura and see with the help of this book to keep it thriving..

So dear Laura, thank you kindly for the book..it's one of a kind I'm sure...it's filled with wild roses, antique roses, etc.etc. so my urge to have roses will continue through your generosity...
