Grrrrr...problems this morning - DG keeps timing out and I lose everything I've written! Let's try this one again...the arbor I put up in the fall of 2006. The climbing rose and Clematis were planted in the spring of 2007. The rose will probably make it to the top this year and I'm going to coax it up, over and down the other side. The Clematis were a huge disappointment - both were supposed to Patricia Ann Fretwell with large, double pink flowers - NOT! And worse yet, they're not even the same :(

I chopped it off in the photo but in the lower right is a pretty bush type Clematis - Clematis recta 'Purpurea' with maroon foliage and teeny little white flowers. If it stops raining soon I've got to get a picture before the blooms are gone! I've also got a few more objects to share if I remember to get photos of them.

Almost forgot - Holly, see that large boulder in front of the arbor? That's the huge one my son "collected" last winter in Maine and sent back home with me. It was so heavy all Rick and I could do was park the van, crawl inside and push it out with our legs! Right now it's staying where it's at until we can figure out how to move it! LOL
