Sadly,<br />we've had some major<br />storms come through<br />the last three nights<br />and the pour peonies<br />are bent over, which is<br />so sad, as they are short-<br />lived, to begin with.

I can see why y'all love it there. You're so lucky to have a lake house. I would probably be there all the time and completely neglect my current home! My husband loves to fish too and releases them. Sounds like you had a busy productive weekend and now its already time for another one! Your roses are beautiful. Wish I had blooms like that. It gets too hot here in the summer, so mine only look good in the Spring.

You just never know when the fish are ready to bite. We didn't catch a single thing at the beach though. Your climbing rose is so pretty but I can't help with the pruning. I always just cut whatever I feel like cutting....whether right or wrong. :) Hope you have a super nice weekend. xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-21204536147755592512013-06-21T00:43:30.981-05:002013-06-21T00:43:30.981-05:00Wow, we are on an organizing kick I think.

It is a hard adjustment after buying for a family of 4 (my son ate enough for a couple more) all those years. I was buying, freezing, forgetting and throwing away. Now, I have enough to live on a little while but I can still see everything in the freezer. <br /><br />I think the roses have loved all this rain. Ours have been full and gorgeous too.
