STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES.

I love Roses. I had a real rose garden when i lived in england with about 80 or more rose bushes in it. All in a design where you could walk around them. Since then ive always made a small area at whichever house weve lived in. As weve moved a lot, i often dont get to stay in the house long enought for them to reach there full beauty. Once in awhile weve drive by our old homes and see how beauiful thereve become over the years. I started this one three years ago. This picture was taken last june so its not quite how it looks today. The bushes are a lot bigger, more pretty and go around the house more. I still have a small area to work on, hopefully ive get it finished this summer. Lee and Carole brought me a beauiful blue rose brush for mothers day. I love it. It makes me happy when ive had a long long day at work and i drive into my drive way and see them all in full bloom. This week they have all reached there glory and it lifts my spirits even if im worried about something, which right now i am. When i get out the van the scent hits me and i just love it. I always take the time to smell the roses. Regardless of whats going on in my life it always puts me in a better mood when i get to walk though the beauty and the lovely scent of these rose bushes. I know ive never have the rose garden i once had at my house in london but hopefully if we stay here long enough, lol. i will get to enjoy the beauty of this small one as it grows.
