Gardening Togs - PaD 1/27/07
Out in the garden this morning, trying to get some tasks done before the rains arrive. Hopefully, we will get some actual rain and not the sprinkles we have received in the past. We could really use it.
Almost finished the rose pruning. I have one more bed of about 5 roses along the north property line, but there is a huge Armenian wedding celebration taking place at our neighbors and I figured they didn't need to see me in my grubby morning gardening clothes. (SMILE)
Sounds of the djembe and oud echo from the front to the back of the house as guests are welcomed and the groom departs. I always enjoy the "United Nations" feel of our neighborhood and it is always wonderful to see and hear happy people. Too often in today's world all we ever see is doom, gloom and tragedy.

How lovely to be able to be in the garden pruning your roses today. I have about 12ft of snow all around me and doesn't look like I'll see my garden till July! I am in 2B as far as gardens go and a lot of things don't grow but surprisingly peonies love it, I wouldn't have thought it.
I grew up in Northern Ohio, so I can certainly relate, if not exactly empathize after 20 years away. We visited Ohio 3 Decembers ago and got the heaviest Winter they have had since I left. My son, (6) loved it. We even pulled the Christmas tree back to the house over the snow. That said, I have no desire to live in that type of environment again, although I am confident I could re-adapt if necessary. (SMILE) Stay Warm!
