How Was My Week?

Spent the first few days of the week working on getting planters on my porch set up with soakers and attatching that to the new in ground sprinkler system so i don’t have to go out and water everyday.  Then on Tuesday we went to the local nursey to buy our first batch of roses to put in the new flower beds.  Wednesday we planted those and add the indivdual soakers to each rose bush since we are in for a heat wave want to make sure they get good water in the heat wave.  Here are photos of my new flowers.  Thursday-Saturday i spent time reading and reviewing books.

  1. First time visitor. The soakers are a good idea. We live in a hotter climate and my roses are actually lovelier in the late fall and early winter. They thrive on cool whether. The Lost Book Shop is on my radar. I hope you have a good week.

      Thanks for stopping by and leaving just a great comment. Hubby is very handy when it comes to getting things to work and having creative ideas for things. My roses seem to do well no matter which is why i like roses i can plant them and pretty much they thrive quite well on there own. Hope to see you again. I hope over and check out what you been blogging about.
