Morning Dew

I took these photos early Friday morning, there was a heavy dew. On mornings like this after we get home from walking the dogs, my little Cavalier, Erin, has to have a bath she is low to the ground and gets soaked.

Old Rose

I love old roses, they require so little care, they are survivors and are happy where they are planted, maybe we could all take a lesson from this beautiful bush!

I took a cutting from this bush over 20 years ago, I don't have any idea what it's name might be or even how far back her heritage might go. The blooms smell wonderful! If I ever had to move, I would list this bush as a "must take along".

It is a beautful cool sunny morning! We received almost two inches of much needed rain.

Old Roses

The "old roses" grow so well in my garden, this is a scrapbook page I did with a photo of a old rose from my garden. My Mother and I took a cutting from a bush in a old cemetery that is no longer maintained by Chickasaw County, the tombstones are old and mostly made from limestone, some dating from the civil war time. I can not remember exact dates as it has been several (15?) years since we took the cuttings. I used to have lots of hybrid tea roses, but they are so needy and clingy :). I do still have 3 or 4, if they make it through the winter that is, it is always a guessing game when I uncover the teas whether they made it or not. But the old time bushes bloom and spread without any help from me.
