And, I know the "Peace" rose will return and give you her beautiful blossoms. Our weather across the country is seriously horrific, the fires, the hurricanes. Never have I seen such devastation in such a short period of time. We, here in Houston, are recovering but the ones whose homes were flooded 2=4 ft of water will have a much harder time. Piles of rubbish on the curbs, living in hotels or house-guesting. It's heartbreaking for all of us. Hopefully, you will be spared from Irma. The entire country needs to say a prayer. sending love.....Splenderosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421992667097947469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-4190798222745942682017-09-08T10:50:03.415-04:002017-09-08T10:50:03.415-04:00Loved your photos.

My son and grandson were on the road all day yesterday trying to get to our house from the Orlando area. They only made it to South Carolina and will be back at it today. I will feel more at ease once they have arrived. <br />With all the beauty going on in your garden and the glorious weather we have had here, it's hard to imagine the awful weather conditions happening to the south of us. Keeping you and all others in the path of Irma in my thoughts, Mary. I pray for the best possible outcome.Happy@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748146424809856063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-30039466393865347912017-09-08T06:53:14.323-04:002017-09-08T06:53:14.323-04:00How beautiful to see that red cardinal in your gar...How beautiful to see that red cardinal in your garden, as well as the gold finches. Beautiful birds. I also have a Peace rose, they are hardy and lovely to see - we have two buds today.

I cannot imagine how frightening it must be. The UK is known for it's inclement weather but at least it's quietly inclement !!<br />The colour of the cardinal is magnificent and, hydrangeas are my favourites.

But where to go, what to do? I know people prepare, and I hope you and everyone else out there are not going to suffer much more than a stormy day or two. No power for two weeks?
