FITH - a small cheat

Cutting stems left handed is nearly as difficult as writing, altho am improving at both.

Before sandy sends her worst to us i cut everything thats in bloom - well, not the chrşysanthemums - which should be fine.  So, i have a few dahlias, zinnias, scabiosa, and the energizer bunny of the garden ... my aunts mini roses.*    The cheat is that i cut them midweek.

Thanks to Jane for hosting FITH.  Stop over and she who else is expecting you today!

*Dont think ive really talked about aunt agnes.  She loved plants and digging in the dirt.  She never had a planned "garden", but rather plants she loved planted ... wherever!  My love of digging in the dirt absolutely came from agnes.  
The bunny in my garden is standing in a way she so often stood that i see her whenever i see it - including when i view this blog.  The mini-rose came from her yard at virginia beach.

  3. Just got caught on your surgery. My mom had that a few years ago. The first after was tough but she did really well after that.

    Isn't it great how a garden can connect us to loved ones. There isn't a season that goes by that Grandma comes to mind along with the Lily of the Valley, peonies and roses.

    Hope you heal quickly!
