This Bud's for YOU...

Moonstone ---6/2/19
And----I'm not talking about beer!!!!!! ha....

Hi Friends,   How are you on this first day of July, 2019?????   The older I get,  the more time flies by me!!!!!!   After my three medical procedures  (Cardioversion--April 23,  Carpal Tunnel Surgery--May 16,  and Cardiac Ablation --June 13),   I am here to say that this ole' almost 77 year old woman is doing quite well.... I'm still low on energy which is to be expected,  but every day there's improvement.... Thanks again for being here for me throughout all of this.  Hopefully,  this will be the LAST one for awhile!!!!

Today,   I'm sharing some ROSE BUDS in our yard for you...  I usually wait until the roses open up more before showing them to you... BUT this year,  the BUDS have been so pretty..... SO --I picked out a few of them to share   (all taken between June 2nd and June 10th)... Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!!!

    These are beautiful. I would much rather have this type of bud than the beer type and they smell way better too. I can't even pick a favorite, each is just as pretty as the next

    So glad the surgeries have been successful. Hope that ablation has eliminated the AFIB. I know how that bothered you.
    Got to go with Strike it Rich. My favorite color.
    Have a great 4th.

    Your header is so startling and pretty, perfect for the Fourth! I am so glad you are well, I know it has been a long road. Favorite buds...Daring spirit, Strike It rich, and the first one. You KNOW I can never pick just one. What will you be doing on the fourth? Anything going on at Biltmore?

    I used to have a Gemini (such a prolific bloomer), and my mom once had a Helen T. Nice memories. Great roses!

    Gemini is my favourite. Glad to hear you are getting back to normal and you will be able to romp into your 77th year like I did not long ago. I went for my final check up with the surgeon who removed a big skin cancer from under my nose. She was happy with it. I still feel soreness in the area but its okay. So like you after three health issues I'm on the way back to my old self. Broken Ankle, skin cancer and food poisoning. Not as dangerous as your problems though.

    There are no ugly roses. My favorite FLOWER AND YOURS ARE AT THE TOP OF THE LINE. ALL SO GORGEOUS. REST AND ENJOY SOME "DOWN TIME". If nothing happens,I will be 90 in August. Take care.

    Glad you are improving. Please look after yourself although I am sure George is doing that. ALL your Roses are fabulous.

    Wow! Awesome rose buds with pretty tender open lips and I also found those rose names interesting. Sorry to hear the medical procedures you went through for heart but glad you recovering well. I too had my appointment with cardio last week and found my weak heart has incredible improvement to pump normal.

    Oh dear you have had too much going on physically! I hope you continue to get well. I get very tired but I rest plenty also. Walking with a walker is so nice, the rollator is a chair to rest in. I recommend them.
