Dale’s Birthday

Written on December 6, 2011 at 1:00 AM, by Miriam Admin

Today is Dale’s Birthday. In honor of her birthday I’m posting pictures of roses and one very special addition to the garden. I’ve just noticed that somehow this young rose bush has joined the others. I’m not sure what variety it will be. It’s closest to the Brandy and the St. Patrick rose. We will just have to wait and see. It must be a special gift from Dale.

I’ve decided to take a little break for the holidays. I won’t totally disappear but I’ll only be doing a few posts from the garden on some upcoming special days.
Thank you for your wonderful comments and sharing our garden. You have brightened my days with your friendship. I’m only an email away.

    Thank you for all of the special garden flowers and pix. We have seen! Sending my care and birthday wishes on Dales’ Birthday. Alone, near or afar she’s forever in your heart and in your memories! You’ve kept her loving memory alive. My grandson, Lucas turned 4 yesterday! My Daughter has a birthday tomorrow. So Dale would fit right in here in our family! I have this friendship I feel with you here! You’ve been wonderful to cheer me on! Fighting Cancer is one thing. But living with endless disabling side effects is very hard! Please do concentrate on yourself! Take good care of yourself! Know you’ve touched many lives and hearts. Thank you for all you’ve done, cared and shared here! Have a Merry, healthy Christmas and a Joyous New Year. With my heartfelt, sincere Thank you!
