meandering

The roses went into the ground yesterday! Our front-entry garden is taking shape and new character, with the addition of lavender, coreopsis, Japanese daisies, and some viney ground covers. One rose is a climber with wide-open, sweet-smelling blooms, Don Juan, and the other is a bushy, purply-leaved Mocking Bird in name and varigated pink in bloom. Thanks and ongoing dedication goes to Mama Linda for the adoption of these beauties into the garden family. I hope Don Juan climbs right on up the front railing next year, to droop a nodding head of welcome to guests of the little castle!

....and make sure the goat doesn't eat them!!!

fortunately, we are more in danger of drowning them, and more likely to fight off deer than goats in these woods!

There's absolutely no danger of drowning roses here, or of even seeing a raindrop, but lots of danger from a gourmet goat with a taste for beautiful roses.

What Goats?! We have deer that come to our backyard. And something is eating my basil bush!

I think your basil bush and Eric & Kelly's roses will be safe. However if Soda Pop, our Nubian rose-eating goat, decides to take a cross county trip in search of basil and roses, I'll be sure to warn you!

From Franklin! What a cute name.
We'll be in your neck of the woods in two weekends.
