Happy 4th of July!

I couldn't let today go by without wishing you all a day filled with sparkles!  Summer is here and it is a beautiful day.  We plan to spend it enjoying the gardens, going to the lake and then having a barbeque on the patio.

A photo of my Abraham Darby after an evening shower.


Luscious peachy pastel petals ...


When the sun goes down enjoy the fireworks!


Have a fabulous Fourth of July everyone and stay safe.

Hi Donna: Loved that last picture of the cupcake and fireworks--very clever! And your Abraham Darby rose is just gorgeous--I love cabbage roses with all those petals. Take care, and have a great weekend!

Abraham Darby is spectacular! I have two new David Austins that have not yet bloomed. Sister Elizabeth has tiny pink buds so I am excited for her arrival! Love the cupcake pic too. Thanks for your kind comments re my new template.
