...Just as I was looking at your pond, a bell rang!<br /><br />http://www.fungie.info/bell/#<br /><br />The bell reminds me to step away from the computer every 30 minutes and take a break. I was looking for a stretch reminder program for Macs, and realized I could set this mindfulness bell up instead. <br /><br />Although I don't have a garden except for plants on my porch, I definitely need to find activities where I truly give myself a break. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your pond and roses.

I have Alexander Girault rambling over the calf house. He only flowers once a season but what a show he puts on. I have Albertine, possibly my favourite rose, in the front garden. Sadly she is very prone to blackspot and mildew. When I asked an 'expert' for advice on how to get rid of the blackspot he said dig the rose up and buy another variety. I can't bear to do that so am tackling it head on this year.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-75444383020304977172013-06-12T15:05:42.066+01:002013-06-12T15:05:42.066+01:00Just take care when you are climbing roses ;)
Seri...Just take care when you are climbing roses ;)<br />Seriously, though, it's lovely to see your pictures. I'm waiting for the overwhelming scent of the Himilayan Musk which has smothered one of our apple trees. It - like everything else - is very late this year.<br /><br />AndyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
