I'm sure not very exciting for some of you reading this but to me YES very exciting!
I've actually picked enough roses from my rose bushes to make a little display in a vase...
I've been feeding and looking after my rose bushes in a desperate effort to get that bunch of roses!
When I'm painting roses I absolutely have to have a live rose in front of me, one single rose will sometimes do for a whole painting as I turn and twist the poor little fresh rose into all sorts of positions
Below are my rambling roses in our garden, I have no trouble growing them, in fact they are overtaking our garden but I love them
They are fantastic as subjects when I'm painting my resting rose paintings
I also love them at Christmas time in amongst lots of Ivy and Christmas Decorations as a feature
Now here's my second part of this posting..... Guss, our Aussie Bulldog, I can't tell you what a cuddly whimp he is, the most gentle and loving dog you could ever meet. He really does think he's a person and likes to sleep up stairs all day. Well no! I think he should have a bit of fresh air, so I've been locking him outside during the day
This is the response I get from him, he just won't look at me because I won't let him inside!
Breaks my heart but he needs a bit of time outside....doesn't he?
I hope you don't think Guss is one of those big aggressive dogs, no he is a sooky la la that's for sure...even the cat scares him to death!
Thanks for visiting
Gail
