Your productivity inspires me to be more productive :) <br /><br /> I just fed my two rose bushes and I hope they will decide they have the energy to produce more flowers before autumn. When my sister Carolyn and I visited Teresa, she had a perfect rose on the table. The scent was truly heavenly~~~~<br /><br />Happy summer days, to you, Helen :)<br />Gracie xx Gracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020904173403709669.post-3201032027084764842013-07-23T16:38:03.416+01:002013-07-23T16:38:03.416+01:00Such loveliness in this post!
