I have not posted for a while because I have been working in the garden till I am so tired all I want to do is clean up and go to bed. Planting, weeding, watering. I just want to sit back and enjoy it but first I have to get everything planted. We have repaired two old benches and put them in the garden the other day and they look nice. You can see one of them on the Garden page. Richard is going to be residing the greenhouse soon, when it is finished I will post before and after pictures. Right now it looks really bad and it is a prominent feature there, it has ruined many of my pictures.
I have an old rose I got from my grandmother and will be moving it where it can be appreciated this week. It was introduced in about 1910 and is called Dr Van Fleet. I love this rose! It smells wonderful and is very pretty, I just wish it bloomed all summer.
My name is Pat and I have been gardening most of my life. My husband Richard helps out with the heavy stuff. I love butterflies and have a Monarch Waystation. I also love animals and have cats, dogs, horses, angora goats, chickens and guineas.
