"She's my Rushmore": Grandpa Henry would be proud.

My back yard is bursting with 'Roses'! When we bought this house the back yard was what sealed the deal for us. Shade, green grass, honeysuckle, grape vines and ROSES.

Greg and I knew we wouldn't be able to plant or (Keep alive) a new garden. So to be able to move into a house with a "mature" garden was perfect.

This year my yard is so lush..(Sorry Greg for getting all Martha Stewart on you for what I thought was over pruning last fall). Walking out side is so exciting with all its color, coolness and fabulous scents.

It reminds me of something..... It almost brings me back to my child hood. Back to my southern California summers out side with my Grandpa watching him garden. He LOVED his yard and was so proud of it. Every time we came for our visit there was always something different in the garden. Not just flowers but corn, watermelon and I think I remember a pumpkin or two. My mom came to visit and rushed out side to take photos cause (I like to think) it reminds her of her father :)

I remember a episode of Martha Stewart talking about flower arranging. Do you think Martha would approve......Ugh I don't really care I know Gramps would.
