Roses in June

Looking up at roses - Georgetown, Texas - 1 June 2012

The following are a few things I have been enjoying lately:

• A new recipe series, "for the love of pie"
• Norah Jones - Little Broken Hearts
• A beautiful image - Sunset over the Rideau Canal
• Harvesting our vegetables from our back yard gardens
• Toasted tomato sandwiches
• The riot of colours in our gardens

Enjoy the journey.

New Shutters

The image above is of our master bedroom with the new shutters we had installed yesterday. Slowly checking things off of our home improvement to do list. How are things with each of you? Our gardens seem to be doing well, the rain last week helped and the roses are blooming again. The hummingbirds are frequent back yard visitors, along with many other birds. Had a lovely letter from a dear friend yesterday, such a wonderful surprise. I really must make a point of putting pen to paper more often. Enjoy the journey

Blooming roses - Georgetown, Texas - April 2012

the light filling the air 
is so mild this spring day
only the cherry blossoms 
keep falling in haste -
why is that so?

Another Rose

A winter poem:


A tangle of branches overhead
stark and twisting without their leaves
a flash of colour
the pretty melody of a winged beauty
an afternoon delight.


~M.J. Tremelling

Colour abounds!

Blooming like mad!!!!
