“The individual human is still the creature who can wonder, who can be enchanted by a sonata, who can place symbols together to make poetry to gladden our hearts, who can view a sunrise with a sense of majesty and awe.” ~Rollo May
What are you up to this weekend friends?

Just curious where you took the picture of the gorgeous roses?
They’re my roses 🙂 I took the picture in my front yard. Thanks for askin’
Hey Barb,
This particular rose bush is about 10 feet. The rose bushes I refer to as the “rose wall” are in my back yard. They’re crazy! They’re growing using a pine tree as a trellis and they get taller and more aggressive every year. Yup, 16 feet. Not gonna lie. So pretty, but when it comes to cutting them back they’re vicious. William Baffin climbing roses, just in case you’d like to plant a couple. 😉
Hi Melissa! Just curious? Do you really see these gorgeous flowers in your yard as they are shown here? 16′ tall? Really? If so, you are truly a lucky lady!
Hey Melissa! I would LOVE to see pictures of the rose wall and the pine tree trellis! PLEASE post!
Well, hello again 🙂 I have tried to take good pictures of the wall before, and without much luck of showing how cool it actually is. (Maybe next year you’ll just have to come over and see it.) I’ve taken good pictures of sections of it, but when I try to get the whole thing I have to stand way back and the roses end up looking like little pink dots in the picture. When it’s in full bloom it’s kind of hard to tell exactly what’s going on…and now, because a couple storms have come through RW a lot of the blooms are beat up looking and a majority of them are gone (who said “Short are the days of wine and roses?” They were absolutely right!)….but, maybe the sparseness will be better for showing how far they go up the pine tree. I’ll take some snapshots and see if I can get anything worth posting. Thanks for the interest and look for a post in the next couple days. If I have any luck I’ll put something on here 😉
