I Never Promised You a Rose Garden ...

Or that I wouldn't stop posting for, oh, six weeks or so. Sorry I've vanished -- there's been a lot going on! Would it help if I actually made you a rose garden? I did!


That, friends, is just one of the gardening projects I've been working on over our time apart. See all those rocks? I carried them from all over the yard. It took hours, but don't they look pretty? Time will tell how the roses do. There are 10 -- five yellow (back row -- they're called Monkey Business) and five purple (front -- they're Sweet Intoxication). Their little spot gets decent sun, but it's filtered. And summer is apparently not the best time to go planting bare-root roses. And the first two I tried to plant right in front of the house seem dead. So I'm a little worried.

Stay tuned ... I'll be back in a day or two to share some new decorating projects, including my new piano-scape and my walls o' yellow stuff. Plus I have some more coming up -- refinishing a mid-century buffet I scored for cheap on craigslist as well as two antique dining chairs my boyfriend gave me.
