Roses

 The summer is going so fast that I barely get one type of flower photographed before the next one comes along. I've probably even missed a few.

Today the Roses Dominated everything.

These are on the right side of the yard coning from the street. The are along the stone path that I use to get from the front sidewalk to the driveway.

These are mostly wild roses and heritage roses from my husband's family farm. Moved along with us from place to place over the last 40 years or so. Dividing and moving them from time to time has taken them from about a half dozen plants to many bushes around 3 sides of our yard. it may have been full hedges by now but we gift several bushes each year so it's kept the numbers down.

All of the roses here are from the same source. The ones in this photo are to the back of the yard on the left hand side from the street.

On the front of the left side of the yard is our Butterfly Garden where you will find many native pollinators and host plants along with the rose and lilac bushes.

Here we are in front of the house looking up from the street and our hand painted, floral wheelchair ramp.

No matter where you look, you just have to smile.
