Good Morning, what great weather we have had the last three days. This time of year is like a second spring. Even my iris and daylilies are re-blooming. Looks like a whole lot of rain is coming our way this afternoon. Glad I got the chance to play outside.

Hi Prose, thanks for coming by. Took a whole bunch of Roxie pictures, but most were blurry as the little one is always in motion.

Hi Surf Mom, who knows, maybe they will come up with some varieties in this garden that will happily grow in Florida with little care.

Hi Sandi, That is a gorgeous rose. I was so tickled to have good weather to get out to the rose garden. It has been cold and rainy here for the last couple of weeks. We are back to rainy today, so what a treat to get outside to play.

Now it is off to sleep and then off to work for the week. Hope everyone finds a little bit of sunshine somewhere to enjoy.
Peace from the blog porch.

Good Morning, just came home and found 3 and 1/8 inches in my rain gauge. So glad I didn't buy and plant a bunch of tulip bulbs this year. The ground has been saturated for the last month. Ducks would be at home in the standing water around the house.

On the other hand, all the grass seed I put down is very happy. There is a lush green carpet of winter grass and no mud from the formerly bare spots is being tracked in.

Hi Shore, This spring they had quite a few of the Julia Child roses at the garden. They had deep green foliage and pretty yellow flowers much like the one Sandi posted. This fall I only found two or three and they looked very unhappy with yellow leaves and black spot. Quite disappointing because they were top on my list of roses for the yard. Still tempted though. They were the prettiest yellow rose bushes there this spring.

Hi Tony, I imagine it is wind chill and snow reports until spring crocus break through the snow come April.

Good Morning!
Went to a really fun Haunted House last night. Just north of Lewisville is a place called Parker House. Bit spendy at $18 a head to get in, but it was just a hoot and holler fest.
First off, the sky is full of boiling building cumulus clouds being squeezed larger by crackling fingers of frequent lighting.

We wait outside a crumbling mansion with murky moat and twenty foot wolf bat perched on the roof wings beating in the wind. Theme from "The Excorcist" coming from hidden speakers. More lightening frames the house.

Inside the spooky abode......oh, fun scary monsters, screams and groans, dark twisting mazes that baffle your sense of direction. The sinking quicksand room was a blast. It's filled with blocks of spongy foam ranging from knee deep to waist deep. This haunted house was worth the price of admission.

Halloween is so fun.

Hi Prose, really enjoyed visiting your poetry blog. Will be back to read more.

Hi Sandi, Is that another one of your own pictures of the Peace rose? Very crisp.

Hi Surfmom, Hope your not out teasing those poor sharks again while your surfing.
