This sure has been a whirl wind of a summer, hasn't it?!
I'm sad to think the fourth of July has come and gone already.
I desperately wish it would slow down.
I am enjoying the flowers this year like never before.
I'm slowly working on the rose garden next to one of the arbors.
The Hens n Chicks from my oldest daughter's gardens are doing well along the walkway, in front of the newest rose bush....a Pink Double Knock Out Rose.
Monday
I went with my three girls and their families to Michigan Adventure, and Water Park.
This is our fifth year.
Mr. L couldn't go. He had to work.
The next evening I went to see "Wicked" with the girls....after we had a nice dinner out.
The next day I headed home with Maddie, and Charlotte in tow. The day after that, their mom(Melissa) came up with Olivia. They all headed back home about an hour ago.
It's been a busy week for me..but a very enjoyable one.
Monday it's back to work at the pharmacy.
It's been a great vacation week!
Now it's time to strip beds, do some laundry, hang sheets on the line, and sweep the sand off the floors.
I wonder if there's time to go to the greenhouse and find another rose bush? hmmm.....
Debbie, Your flowers are looking very nice. I like the new header with your hollyhocks:):) Looks as if you did enjoy your time off with your family. That is always such fun. Enjoy the rest of this weekend. xoxox, Susie

Lovin' that rose garden, Debbie! It's taking shape so beautifully! I have a couple of those double pink Knock-outs and love them! My new arbor is ready to be put together (after I spent 2 days painting it), and I'll have 'Eden' and 'New Dawn' clambering up the sides very soon! :)
