music, gardening and my dog


The Poet’s Wife

I moved this David Austin rose at totally the wrong time of year — in the middle of summer. It was in a pot in a quiet spot and almost dead, so I put it in the ground where I can see it every day. It has a lovely almost tangy rose scent. So proud that it survived! 💪
