July ROSES in our Yard 2016

Lots of blooms (including some Day Lilies) ---taken 7/13/16
Today I'll share some of the MANY different varieties and colors of ROSES blooming in our yard --just THIS month...Even with the heat, humidity,  lack of rain --and Japanese Beetles (YES--we struggle with them here in Summer)-----our roses still manage to put on a wonderful show for us...

Hope you enjoy seeing these beauties... As I say on Facebook most every single day,  I wish YOU could be here to see and smell the roses yourself...We are truly blessed.

Hope you enjoyed seeing some of our ROSES.   It has been a good year for Roses --despite the problems with the beetles and of course,  our DEER.   I have more to share --but that will be in another upcoming post.

Today (July 18, 2016) is my eldest son's 53rd birthday.....  Happy Birthday to Bert!!!! How can "I" have a son THAT old????.. WELL---that bundle of joy came into my life when I was 20.  I felt like a child myself then --raising a child.  Thank Goodness for Dr. Spock's Baby Book back then!!!!! ha ha

Have a wonderful week, my Friends!!!

Hugs,
