Rosy

It's that time of year, with warm sunny days and cool nights--my roses love this weather. All the colors seems more intense. Any pink rose now seems

in tone. But as the weather cools (there was snow high on the ridge this morning) I know winter can't be far behind and I get

as I bid farewell to my lovelies' last blooms.

The east side of the Sierra may not exactly be subtroppical or we'd be able to grow

but our summer's all the more welcome as we soak up the sun.  Summer is truly the

in Reno's four seasons.

We know there's an

lurking somewhere in our future but for now the

of our Indian summer is welcome.

So fare-thee-well, my flower friends; remember that it's never too early to plan for springtime!
I've enjoyed visiting you all at our weekly

Happily,
