What wonderful weather we have had. I have a jasamine on a pergola in my back yard and it is loaded with blooms.
I have another iris blooming.
I think that one may be Wayne's favorite. He put up a decorative birdhouse for me last weekend. It is on a pole and in front is a chickenwire cage with a climbing rose on it.
We talk a lot about the problems we have with squirrels. Well, I have 2 of the worlds most ferocious squirrel dogs. If one so much as thinks about coming down the tree, these 2 are on it quick, fast and in a hurry.
First is Pablo, the wonder dog. He can leap over small piles of leaves in a single bound and wishes he could climb trees. He can not abide a squirrel.
Then there is Peter Marie. She can not abide a squirrel either and chases them with wild abondon. She doesnt know she isnt a squirrel dog and we have never told her different. She also doesnt know that she COULD climb a tree, should the notion hit her.
Tomorrow I am going to look at some roses with a girlfriend. Hope we find one or two. I havent grown many since we moved but I am getting the rose bug again.....what can you do?
Talk to yall later.

What beautiful Jasmine!! I can't wait for mine to get that big. Nothing beats dogs and cats for chasing off those squirrels. My dogs often stand on the couch looking out the living room window barking their fool heads off at the squirrels, while my cats sit there with tails whipping back and forth. |

I enjoy the pictures of your flowers, but most of all, I enjoy the pictures of killer dog and killer cat. They scare me, I'm sure they scare the poop out of the squirrels. Y'all have a great day and happy gardening. The Hillbilly |

The smell of the jasmine is wonderful but a little overpowering at times. It's a good thing my neighbors like it too! |

What a gorgeous Iris. I have found several colors in my gardens I haven't had to bloom in a very long time. It is thrilling. Linda B |
