More roses and irises growing like crazy.

This is one of those little gift roses you get in the tiny pot. It has been growing like crazy.

A rosebud getting ready to bloom. This is the first.

Hmmm.... how did this giant dandelion get here?

This is one of my favorite roses. Sweet Promise. It is such a gorgeous color as it grows and has beautiful coral-y pink roses.

Ranunculus. I love how glossy the foliage is on these.

The garden view from the swing.

The wall of horror. I cannot get paint to stick to this wall for anything. Thank goodness it's still a long ways away.

The corner I'm hoping to get painted today.

I do not like ladders.

But look. I got the corner done. I try to not think of the house painting as having 97/100ths to go!

I prefer to think of it as 3/100th's completed. Hmmm.... somehow that really doesn't make me feel too much better. Sadly.

Take me home, please
