Dang! I wish I have a spectacular view like that! Reminds me of the gorgeous mountain lakes in upstate NY. The ocean and the sand is getting too dull for me already here at the Jersey shore. LOL!

That magnifying glass thing is funny. 3 weeks ago when all my clems were leafing out but one. I got worried that it may have died and I literally dug out carefully the surrounding mulch and soil to see if there was any sign of new growth at the base. Yep, one tender little red thing trying to grow. Now it's about 6" tall and more growth.

Planted more roses today. Still waiting for my order from David Austin. Starting to get worried already I might have to call them tomorrow.

Photo is Mohonk Mountain House, New Paltz, NY. The have some gorgeous gardens.
