My rose bush is blooming! So I thought I would show you. I have no clue what the name is, I think it's some kind of cabbage rose.
It smell wonderful.
Went on a bike ride today with my friends Gail and Phyllis. It's kind of hard to believe we went to school together more then 40 years ago and still friends or I should say renewed friends. So that tells you how old we all are, this year we turn 60! Phyllis and I were talking yesterday about how we just don't feel it. When our parents were 60 it was old!! Why is it not old now? Gail has a blog called Out and About with Gail, fits her perfect. When we ride I always learn so much from her, she knows a lot about birds and flowers. She's not shy at all, no problem knocking on doors at 9am and asking if she can go in their back yard to take pictures of what ever strikes her interest. She said most people are very nice and let her. Of course, we have lived in this same area code for most of our lives(you know how old we are) so chances are we know them or we know someone that know them. I always say it's a small Conway(our neighborhood). Anyway, we have been riding a few times a week and I'm really enjoying it. Florida weather cooperates nicely.
Tomorrow is estate sale day!
Please go visit my other blog, Vintage Chic Affair and see us grow..
Happy Wednesday evening!

How special to have friends for so long! I have a couple of high school friends...one is my sister-in-law! Your roses are beautiful!
Oh, how I would love to ride a bike again...my back just won't cooperate! I also have a group of friends from childhood (we grew up in Lockhart), but we are scattered here and there, but we get together every couple of years.
I'm pretty sure that your rose is "Louis Phillipe" or as us old timers call "Florida Cracker". It's the only rose I grow cause it's so easy and requires little to no care.
Happy hunting tomorrow!

Hi Karen, Your flowers are pretty. It makes you think of Spring, but it will have to wait. We are getting snow and it hasn't let up yet. Friends are very special to all of us and you can never have to many. Have a great day. Your Missouri Friend.

Please go take a picture of my backyard! I've been wondering what it's come to after I'm not there to baby it. On second thought - don't! unless it looks good! Fun bike rides! Ann
I've had to miss the last few days--can't wait for next week when we can get together again!
