Vines and Roses

The roses I neglect are the ones that do the best!

 En mai fait ce qu'il te plaît--Do what you like in May. This feels very appropriate right now-- this spring has been so magnificent on our property, almost like living in a dream world (the Shire) or in Brittany.

Climate seems to be everything to my husband and me, probably because we were born and raised in wonderful ones, California and Brittany, where everything grows and the humidity is low.

Shiraz grapes full of promise

There's nothing like having the windows open with a natural breeze in the house. Being able to work outside when you want. 

The last of the azaleas

Gardening is fun, not torture, and we have at least another week of loveliness left before mercury and humidity skyrocket until mid August.

It's good weather for being productive.
