The Fairy Roses
a revived morning
fitness ritual
may lead to
shorter entries
and more
flower pictures
or maybe
I'll just
give up
my day job
Photo note: All abloom at the cottage-- the fairy roses at their most spectacular, in addition to milkweed, yucca and, mid right, hydrangea -- topped by the blooming eucalyptus tree--- all red white and blue for the patriotic. Fairy roses, though wild and ubiquitious around here, are extremely difficult to cultivate -- I've been trying to get them to grow on the other side of the front path for thirty years. My neighbor who is an avid gardener, doesn't have a one, and it's not for lack of trying.
