Flaming June!

Well, at least my hair feels like it is on fire. The first weeks have been crazy!

At the house, we have been fine tuning bits and pieces. Where do we hang this pic? Why doesn’t this door close well? What is that in the rose bush? (two trees) Make a trellis for said rose bush. Find a couch… replace the couch… organize this, that and a few other bits. Plus, we’ve actually been working here! You have no idea of how great a feeling it is to have someplace to work without interruptions! We’ve been trying to spend at least one night a week here as well.

At my mom’s we planted the big garden. Same size as last year, but a few new additions. We are trying eggplant, two new squash and potatoes. 🙂 Plus, the layout is a bit different.

Then there is our um… social life. I am taking two SCA classes. Beledi dance (belly dancing) and bobbin lace. Both classes are in Pueblo, so we have to make sure that everyone gets fed before we leave and that we have all of our gear. It’s a bit daunting at times, but oh it is fun!

And… there is the regular stuff. Housework, cleaning the yard at 203, and meetings! School board, DAAC, the Wellness committee, Celtic Music Fest, etc. It’s enough to make me want to run away. Or, at least lock all the doors at least once a week.

Bloomin’ Roses!

I thought that there were a lot of roses a week or so ago when I posted on my blog about the roses. However, when I woke up this morning I realized it was like the bush had exploded. Single, double and triple blossoms. So many blossoms that I had to dead head some of them so that the rest of the buds have room to bloom. Wow!

Then it rained for a bit and the air is now scented with roses. Ahhhh! Here are some more pictures taken before I picked petals.

Roses!!!

My rose bush in the back yard had 3 blooms last year. I trimmed it back, let it grow and this spring, the buds just developed and developed. I must have over 100 buds and blossoms on this one bush. It is so beautiful. Not if the rest of the back yard was cleaner!
