Next month I will be pruning my rose bushes and so the year in the garden goes on.<br />Lovely to catch up with you again Karen.Roses, Lace and Brocantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11821168025062104166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2237620571891876574.post-87299525751604195452014-05-08T00:30:22.403-04:002014-05-08T00:30:22.403-04:00Karen...wonderful photos, but the peony sprouts we...Karen...wonderful photos, but the peony sprouts were screaming to me! I have an obsession lately with peonies so I anxiously await your photos of lovely, billowy pink blossoms that I can admire from afar! The arbor was lovely last year so hopefully your repairs and pruning will produce another spectacular display! Love the ferry, but haven't ridden one in several years...ummmm...adding to my "to do" list!

Cutting back roses and clematis will not do them any harm, as I have cut back quite a few this year as well.<br />Peonies are such beautiful plants and it is lovely to see yours peeping through the soil.<br />I have quite a list of things to do in the garden, but the rain is proving a problem as it has made the soil very "claggy" so I am hoping we will have a few dry days to allow me to get into the garden to do some weeding. Fingers crossed.<br />Best Wishes<br />DaphneIvy, Phyllis and Me!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09988502694544216304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2237620571891876574.post-64404496733044790802014-05-04T08:16:15.752-04:002014-05-04T08:16:15.752-04:00Isn't it exciting to come home to see what is ...Isn't it exciting to come home to see what is blooming?

My arbor in the front garden is in similar need of repair. And there is the picket fence to paint this year as well. As I say, the list is long.

Like you, I have fond memories of taking the Wolf Island Ferry, and then another one, down near Treasure Island, to visit a boyfriend who lived on a smaller island. That ferry was run on cables. <br />Bravo for managing that arbour repair!Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2237620571891876574.post-64161311920184539732014-05-01T09:15:18.582-04:002014-05-01T09:15:18.582-04:00hello

They are getting to be more and more expensive, though, so we don't go as often as we used to. I enjoy the time spent on the ferries, though - beautiful scenery. Our crossing is about 90 minutes.<br />How lovely to see all the flowers coming up in your yard.

Your arbour with the clematis and rose was gorgeous last year and I'm sure they will spring back with their recent haircut. My clematis is a Jackmanii and I prune it back every fall. I need a new trellis for it too as the lattice is broken from me trying to pull the vines off it last fall. It needs painting too but I'm hoping hubby will build me a new one that is a lot taller. I would like to buy a peony this year as I've never had one before and they are so pretty.

How I long to breathe their sweet and refreshing scent, which still penetrates my memory.

We haven't been for our yearly ride on it yet. I love to get out of the vehicle and feel the breeze on my face, something I never tire of. <br />Your peony shoots are lovely. Mine are up too and I'm hoping for more blooms than last year. I'm sure your roses will grow vigorously after being cut back. We were just talking of cutting ours right back at the beginning of the week and then the rain started. It is still coming down so all outside work has stopped for a few days.
