Isn't this purty! It's the ONE rose we got on our Mr. Lincoln Rose we planted last year. Only one, but OH so pretty, OH so long lasting, and OH so wonderful to smell. They really are the most fragrant roses and I do love them! My senior mom has taken such great care of this bush along with all her other gardening projects and activities and has been reveling in the lovely weather while working at trimming, planting, and feeding her beloved birds. And yes, squabbling with her equally beloved, though she'd deny it with every breath, little squirrels.

Aren't these roses lovely also? They are all over our neighborhood. They look lovely and bloom mightily, but have no scent. Personally, I'll take one Mr Lincoln Rose that smells heavenly over a million that have no scent, pretty though they may be. 🙂

Mom's garden wagons are full of all her new plants – from the sunflowers she and the grandkids planted as they prepare for this years Sunflower house or houses (As many seeds as they planted, I think there may be a million!) to the various other flowers she's hoping will attract a ton of butterflies.

It's been such weird weather all winter and spring – but lots of gorgeous sunshine and early spring means one of the prettiest springs ever – even the wildflowers are gorgeous! And often, we can smell flowers in the air from everywhere. The other day, it was breezy, warm, and humid – it reminded me of Hawaii! Hmmm, maybe that's what made me think of the lovely and colorful Hawaiian muumuu dresses that my grandmother loved so much. They make such delightful comfort clothes for boomers and seniors! 

But then the storm clouds come back along with thunder, lightning, and rain and I really appreciate my Lee side elastic jeans that keep me warm and fairly dry even in the wet and wooley weather. Not to mention our senior parents full elastic waist jeans and pants. How about you? How's your weather? And your gardening activities? I must say, I do have fun snapping photos with my easy to use digital camera. And speaking of cameras, want  to see more fun photos? Check out Sweet Shot Tuesday.
