Home Again - Hello Roses

'Crown Princess Margarita'

I'm back home after a three week garden tour of the Cornwall region of England. It was phenomenal and I'll be sharing photos from the trip later. I got back home to an explosion of growth and bloom in our garden. I was grateful that we received some rain and so was Michael, who didn't have to do a great deal of watering.

This is my favorite time of year when the garden bursts into bloom and everything is fresh and unblemished.

The roses are especially a treat right now.
