Taking Stock







Spring has arrived in Central Florida. We have our glads planted and our lawn fed. We were finally blessed with rain this weekend. A bonus for the watering we've had to do. The rose bushes have emerged from just the stick form they were only two weeks ago, to beautiful green plants filled with buds. The first to bloom this year was Mr. Lincoln, followed by Queen Elizabeth, and then the goreous Peace rose.

It's a good time of year for taking stock, although I don't know the origin of that phrase. For me, it's literal. After planting the seeds almost 18 months ago, I'm finally able to take stock: the pretty pink and lavendar flowers you see here. It was worth the wait and I am grateful for the outcome.
