More of This Year's Roses

 Dear Blog Friends.....  WELL---it's August  and it's my BIRTHDAY MONTH.....  Yeah!!  Hubby is taking me to Maggie Valley for a couple of days.   We are looking forward to just getting away.   I was born on AUGUST 5,  1942,   so the numbers say that I'll be 83.....I'm glad to still be here to live my glorious life with George and my family and friends.... 

My August post are more of the beautiful ROSES that have bloomed and are blooming in our yard this year...  We don't have nearly as many flowers anymore like we used to,   but that makes me appreciate what we have even more.   If you want to see the names of the ROSES,  just put your mouse on each picture.

Hope all of you are doing well.   

Love to all,

BETSY and GEORGE

 Hello Blog Friends,   How are you?   George and I are still here and we keep putting one foot in front of the other.... With our health problems,  we still feel blessed to be here enjoying God's beautiful world.

My header this month was taken by our neighbor across the street.  She sent the picture to us and said that they are enjoying seeing our yard.    (Taken on 3/28/25)

Here are six pictures of some of our Spring Flowers.  Hope you enjoy them.

MUCH LOVE,

Betsy and George

Our first flowers,   Purple Crocuses


Pink Hyacinths


Many years ago,  George's Dad gave us these little Daffodils...  Every year they keep coming back.  We named them. Dad Adams Daffodils... Aren't they sweet?
