the end of april....

ok, so there are no roses due to bloom any moment in my garden......and this is most vexing..........i always have a rose in bloom by the april 30....albiet a small bloom on a bush in a most protected spot......but neough to call it in bloom....and i traditionally call my brotherinlawnicktherosarian to gloat, or at least to find out if her also has a rose or two in bloom.....and it is a nice day allaround.....except for this year....what with the cold snap and lack of sunshine that has plagued us these many weeks.....there is a chance that the sun could come out for a time tomorrow afternoon......though the temperatures will not get above 58 i am told..........i will just hav eto bundle up to get the last of the beds ready and the few seed packets we have purchased sewn......
