I love boating but not on my lawn ;-).  The rose is a beauty.  So many you buy now are hot house & have no smell, shame that.
Tracey came a little after 6:35?  Errr. Uhm. Ha, maybe you could work out a NORMAL time with her.
Hope you are feeling a bit better. ~Mary

I'm glad she wasn't hurt in the accident. Stay safe in the rain. Your flowers are beautiful Mort! You definitely have the talent for gardening.  I don't have that talent....nope....only thing that survives around here is a cactus plant!
Have a great weekend.
Love ya, Pam xoxox

Mort I hope you and mum have a wonderful time away from home, if she went with you.  When my brother in law had to have so much of his somach removed after cortizone ate it up they put him on 9 asprin a day at one time.  He was in wheel chair and had to have built up fork and spoon cause his hands would not close enough.  He was extremely crippled with his arthritis.  I wonder if asprin would help the pain in the ankle??  You know I love your flowers.  I put as pic of my rose bush that we have cut flat to the grouind trying to get it  to die is prettier than ever.  Lucy
