There is still time to enter my CCVII post give-away by commenting HERE by March 4th. Does free chocolate and tea sound good?
It's March! You may have snow where you live, but here in Southern California buds are popping up on all the bushes outside. Our roses and hydrangea plants are showing signs of stirring. We bought some flower seeds and a package of Gladiolus bulbs and I can't wait to pull on my gardening gloves and start working in the garden. Do you keep a gardening journal? I do. I include a few photos and even sketch in it!

The
meaning of pink roses is as beautiful and as graceful as the delicate
blossom. They're often seen in bridal arrangements and thank you or
congratulations bouquets. Considering the word "rose" brings to mind the
faint blush of a fair maiden's cheeks, it's not surprising these blooms
are a favorite to give and receive.
The Song of the Wild Rose Fairy
I am queen whom everybody knows;
I am the English Rose;
As light and free as any Jenny Wren,
As dear to the Englishmen;
As joyous as a Robin Redbreast's tune,
I scent the air of June;
My buds are rose as a baby's cheek;
I have one word to speak,
One word which is my secret and my song,
'Tis "England, England, England" all day long.
