Spring Roses

I love the Spanish broom in the Corner.  It has the best smell.  Although arguably not as good as the Idaho Honey Locust which is my all-time favorite spring scent.

Lots of these around

These Too.

My thumb is not green.  Despite this truth, every year my roses bloom.  Spring is my favorite time of the year.  Which is good because summer is full of scorching heat and weeds that afflict and torment and all that stuff.
