It is a climbing yellow rose.

I Adore this plant which I call LIONS TAIL. I do not know the plant name but was thrilled to see it take off last year in my garden after years of doing NOTHING!

I have been meaning to get these chairs re – done for THE LAST 18 YEARS!
NOW that there is a little girl in MY LIFE occasionally; I better get to it!
WE recently CELEBRATED FOUR YEARS OLD!

This looks like GOLDEN CELEBRATION but I do not think this one is!
I have that rose elsewhere in the garden.
Any Ideas FABULOUS READERS?

NEW DAWN, I BELIEVE……………see I’m forgetting now!
You think you will NEVER FORGET when you plant them but YOU DO!
Some one needs to come up with a tag that remains sturdy and attached for years!

The STANDARD ROSE TREE is PILLOWFIGHT!

WHITE SWAN is the name of this 25 year old BELLE of a BUSH!
So, my memory is NOT completely gone!

The garden I have left to its own devices.
It definitely is a SPRING GARDEN which is not very practical.
I spoke too soon the other day when I told my new neighbor the DEER haven’t been coming by!
The next morning I go to get in my car and OPPS!
I had at least ONE four legged VISITOR last night!
Ate a PEONY and some SALLY HOMES rose buds!
They areNOT suppose to EAT PEONY!
Then again I am not suppose to eat salt anymore……..
Just a little GUILTY!
Those MC DONALD French Fries were calling my name!
I read recently that MC DONALD FRIES are coated with 18 ingredients!
You DONOT want to know what is in them!
I JUST LOVE THEM!
Luckily I do not treat MYSELF often!

The climbing hydrangea is coming into sight on the left and the snowball tree is too on the right!
Thank You for viewing.
I hope your SPRING is SPECTACULAR or FALL where ever you maybe.

Those of you who are following along with me and my FOREVER HEALTH issues will be happy to hear I met with a STANFORD DOCTOR yesterday.She spent an hour and a half with me and specializes in FND.
MY new diagnosis from Kaiser.
Seems she is NOT convinced that is the correct diagnosis!
I also had my FIRST COCKTAIL in about 7 years!
A COSMOPOLITAN LAST NIGHT and it was TOO STRONG!
Perhaps some PROSECCO for Mother’s Day is the better choice?
OR STICK WITH THE WATER?

This would have been July 31,st as MY MOTHER is wearing a TIARA!
As you can tell here SHE was a bit MORE UNDERSTATED THEN ME!
Her Birthday………many years ago.
May you MOTHERS OF FURRY BABIES AND PEOPLE HAVE A LOVELY DAY and ALL THE REST OF YOU TOO!
My guess is I’m about 44 years old here so 20 years ago…………as you can see a few similarities I have with LA MAMMA!
Eyes, nose, face and double chin!
I SMILE EVERY TIME I SEE THAT CHIN IN A PHOTO on me!
WE BOTH MOTHER AND I LOVED MC DONALDS; LETS BLAME THE FRENCH FRIES!
SHALL WE?
A BIG HUG TO ALL OF YOU,
XXX
