"We bring roses,
beautiful fresh roses,/
Dewy as the morning and
colored like the dawn."
Thomas Buchanan Read (1822-1872)
Cecil Brunner is in full bloom.
He will need a good hair cut
when the time is right.
This is a David Austin rose.
I cannot tell you what the name is...
...another David Austin
which, too,
shall remain nameless.
The two roses above, look the same in the photos, but they are two different roses.
This pretty bit of brightness
was a gift from our kids
a few years back.
These two old roses
were growing in the garden
when we bought
the Cottage.
A few spots
around the Cottage
to enjoy the sweet aroma
of these delicate blossoms.
The last showing
for the
Lady Banks.

More bright spots
of a different nature...
We finally got rid
of these terrible eyesores
and replaced them with...
...two others
that bring a bright spot of color
to the sitting room.
They lend a lighter feel
to the space.
When the sun streams
through the windows in the morning,
there is the illusion
of summertime...
...and the addition of
the perfect flower
seems to make it seem
more so.
We ordered the chairs
from Wayfair
and I am really pleased
with them.

Remember
when I described how Jake
and his buddies
started taking the
swimming pool out?...
...and how Tami and Jake
were moving dirt
35 years apart...
...well,
here the two are together,
still moving dirt...
...and in Tami's own words:
"48 tons
of dirt and blisters
up the wazoo later -
Bring on the inspector!!"
They still haven't
let us in
on the finished project.

Kai
wanted to share with you
his new hair cut
and to let you know
that the bright spot of his day
was when Dad and Mom
picked him up afterwards!!
...Judy...

Thank you, Sandi.
