  3. Those winds and the rain were something else. I have been up in Ojai and we got 6 1/2 inches of rain. We lost 1/2 of an Oak tree too.
    Crazy Mama Nature....but your garden looks great Janet!

    PS love your new spring wardrobe too, very chic my dear.

    Your's is gorgeous! The flowers look like they're coming right out of the screen at me!
    Heavenly.

  12. Good Morning Janet, Oh, the pictures are so gorgeous, I even love the knotty pine fence, so so charming. That really was a huge amount of rain and wind in one day wasn't it. Wonderful to see your garden this morning, everything is just sparkling. Hugs, Joyce

  13. Oh...how lovely...those gorgeous roses...if only this had smell-o-vision. I read about 10 years ago that they were working on it for the internet...but have yet to see it happen. How jealous I am of you and your garden at the moment. I cut my rose bushes way back last fall...so it may be a long time before I have blooms this year.

  14. @ Hostess: after the flying saucer in the last posting I have to ask you: did you see the angry face-mask in one of the photos above? It is there and then it's not. ;-)
