Oh, my glory. When I opened up the blinds yesterday morning, there was this big wooden thing up against the window. What in the world? Then I realized that it was the rose trellis. It had blown over in those terrible winds Sunday. I feared that it had uprooted the bush, but miraculously it hadn't. We went out and shored it back up. Now it's tied to the porch in three places. It is not lovely, but I think that it will hold; at least I hope so. That's about all the yard work that I got done. I was too busy with other things. Besides, it was too windy. It blew my little flag decoration all over the place for the second time, so I just brought it in. I sure hope that today will be a bit calmer. Now I need to try to plant my Mother's Day plants. I am undecided about what to do with the lovely Asiatic lily. I'm enjoying it here in the house. If I put it outside, that's probably all that it will do this year. I need to find out how to treat it because I want it to come back next year.

Well, you and I always seem to be the first ones up and running here of a morning! Ack ~ the winds were awful ~ glad they're gone and that you didn't lose anything. Heat, give me heat and sun!!! My Asiatics overwinter fine here in 6b. But I have them in partial shade. Last edited by KeyWee on May 13th at 5:00 AM. |

I am glad to hear that your rose is unharmed! I had the same thing happen last year with one of my wisteria arbors. I have stabilized now with bricks, pieces of metal, etc. It looks really silly. |

The weather has been strange, hasnt it? It was cool and windy this morning. I always plant my lillies from bulbs and they come back bigger and better. |
