What a lovely day here! The clouds are gathering, and the rain is coming! Yayyyy! I simply adore the rain! So, since I am working in the garden today, trying to catch up a bit before the drops begin, I thought you might like to take a walk with me through my rose garden........ I saw a sign once....... I cannot remember where, perhaps in a magazine or book, but it was very, very pretty, and it said "Won't you come into my garden? My roses would love to meet you"


If you look closely at the bottom of the rose above, you will see a little Praying Mantis.... for some reason, I now have tons of them on my roses..... I even had one land on my shoulder last week while I was at the mailbox! I have heard they are good luck..... I certainly hope so!!




And, while I was out snapping pics, little Miss Daisy started jumping up and down and yelling "me too!" "me too!"......... so, of course I had to include her......



~Wishing you a "rosey" kinda day~

Gorgeous roses, Joyce!

Hello there! I'd like to introduce myself..... My name is Joyce and I live in northern California, in the beautiful San Joaquin Valley. In 1975, I was blessed by God with a wonderful man named Stephen. Whether or not you believe in such a thing, ours truly was "love at first sight". We were married one year later. In time, we were further blessed with 5 beautiful children, four boys and one girl. Steve was my rock, my protector, my soul mate, and my best friend. We spent 30 precious years on this earth together, and for this I give thanks each and every day of my life. Sadly, my dear Steve passed away in December of 2005. He was such a strong spirit and loving soul that I know he is still here, loving and watching over us.
