After a long blog break
I feel refreshed,
recharged...
I would love to say
I tackled a lot of neglected projects...
but really,
the lazy days of summer
just consumed me...
after a hot and dry summer,
a few days of Sweet Summer Rain
have the garden feeling refreshed,
recharged...
in the endless hot dry days
(and my laziness)
the rose branches grew long and lanky...
the summer rain
bending them...
until,
they succumbed to the temptation
of just lying in the Sweet Alyssum...
Brother Cadfael,
is a rose that struggled to be happy in the garden...
this year it has been covered
in these big cupped roses...
a pure delight!
it has jumped right onto my favorites list...
I am in no hurry to charge into fall...
I plan to hold onto Summer as long as I can...
Thanks for stopping by....

Dear Bella, great that you are back in blogland, I missed you!
Love this post! Your roses are such a beautiful sight. I am eyeing Brother Cadfael also for quite some time. I think it is one of David Austin's nicest pink roses. Wishing you a lovely late summer.

As much as I love Autumn, I love the end of Summer and we still have three more weeks of it. It was 100 here on Monday, so Summer is still very much present. Your roses are heavenly and the fountain girl pure romance. My roses have all died in this drought. We will have to begin again. I miss them.
Welcome back Bella! Lovely photo's of your garden. It all looks enchanting!

I love your fountain lady! I have been dealing with the sale of my house and the closing at end of Sept. So much to do to prepare moving on that I have missed some of the beauty of gardens in summer! Thanks for sharing yours.

Glad you are back again, I love your dreamy romantic posts about the roses, I really do love them. And....I am longing to some lazy days too.
Your roses look so pretty resting in that pretty alyssum!
Bella, so happy to see a post from you, they're always such a treat. The roses are gorgeous, and I love it that some are just resting in the alyssum. Glad you have had a nice, relaxing summer.
Was worried about you. Glad to hear you were just relaxing!

Your garden photos are gorgeous Bella! I LOVE the beautiful roses you have. I definitely will be going back through this post a few times today.
I am so glad to read that you really soaked in the summer!
Your roses are just gorgeous!
Hey Bella! I'm so glad that you had a relaxing blog break and enjoyed the summer months. They tend to fly by way too quickly, don't they? But, I'm happy to see you back in blogland with all of your beautifully inspiring garden pics. You have an amazing green thumb and an incredible artist's eye in your garden, my friend. Such a blessing!
