This house is an older one, very large with a wonderful yard that is landscaped. Crepe myrtles are blooming all around the house and the roses seem to never stop .. :)
This one is a beautiful peach color and has single roses on a short stem.. sadly no fragrance. I have no idea what the names of these lovely roses are.. any of them.. but what's in a name anyway? :)
This one is on a very old vine that is as thick as my wrist at the base. It has gold roses on one side and creamy white roses on the other. Beautiful.
As with any older home, there have been a few things that have had to be fixed, mended,replaced or just lived with.. lol But we love it already.. and Sam and Katie are over the moon with the size of the back yard... so much room to run.. so many new smells.
But the best thing... the absolute best thing.. is we are only a couple of houses down from daughter Donna. It's amazing how wonderful it is to look up and see her at the back door, spending an hour or so just visiting at the end of the day... totally makes everything else .. the move, the inconvenience, the plumber, the air conditioner guy, the builders screening in the back porch.. everything.. totally worth it.
Well.. the heat is beginning to show it's ugly head around here. So far there has been enough rain to help keep it down a little, but August is here and I'm thinking that will probably end.. sigh
Have a lovely day.. :)
