In the back yard this is as good as it gets for the rambler rose, Paul's Himalayan Musk, which is growing up a pine tree. Not so magnificent but a pretty good show for a rose that's about as big as a half-dollar. I've managed to cram back into the pine branches the wayward canes that slap the lawn-mowing guy across the face. I know he'll appreciate it.
Here's one of my darling grandchildren. He's a month shy of being 4 years old. Of the five of them he was the only one who wanted to help Grammy pull weeds at the back of his house to plant a pumpkin patch. Though he really doesn't look too happy about it here. I was probably hogging the hoe.
His oldest brother (age 8) agreed to water the pumpkin hills every day. Hope he doesn't suffer from forgetfulness like Grammy does.

What a treat to see your blog pop up on my feed! I have become an infrequent blogger too. Life just gets busy and blogging has taken a back seat for me. I hope all is well with you-
The photo of your grandson on the wall is precious!
Thanks, Lynne. It's been awhile but I see you're busy posting about your birding trip. Great read! Sounds like all is well with you, too. Thanks for stopping by!
I certainly love the name of your blog. We have saved a couple of roses from cellar holes to keep them from being lost - and planted 70 more to keep them company. We are just about ready for our Annual Rose Viewing.
Thanks, commonweeder! I've never saved a lost rose myself but I love the idea that people have the opportunity to do it. 70 roses! Your blog is wonderful...thanks for visiting mine.
Well, isn't this post a pleasant surprise! And I see there is an even newer one. I do love your laid back approach to gardening.
Carol, laid-back is a very kind way of defining a lazy gardener. That I am! Thanks for visiting!
Once the plant is in your garden you get to name it, right? And 'Shell Pink' is easy to spell!
It's always fun to see a post from you, Lost Roses, just in time for your 4th blogiversary
