Mom's Roses ~

 

The first bouquet to bloom on mom's (1933~2010) rose bush, that I dug up in January 2013,  from my mom's home and then transplanted to my home. It was touch and go for a while but they are doing very well. I do not know the "official" name of this rose . . . I am working on coming up with a special name for it . . . just as we did for the pretty pink roses in the photo below. These are a cross of a pink and coral color.


 

The "Elfie" Rose  

This rose bush (was still in the pot from the nursery, mom had just purchased it and hadn't planted in her yard as of yet), I transplanted in March of 2012, from mom's home to mine . . . it's doing very well.

Thank you, Gigi Hasso's (my step-sister) for picking the perfect name, "Elfie" ~

I haven't posted on my photo blog for quite a while.  My old used Rebel camera (2010~2012) would not recognize the SD card and it was just too costly to have it repaired, so, I ended up getting a sweet new, Canon Rebel 600 EOS Rebel T3i and I am in love with it . . . now, I am learning how to use it (have a long way to go) and hoping to get back to taking photos and posting now and then. For Mother's Day, my daughter gifted me with a 3 hour photography class (Groupon)  in Balboa Park Gardens . . . looking forward to doing that! 

Rain rain go away ~

 

This is Koda, laying by the glass sliding door and wishing he could go out and play . . . we are getting a bit of well needed rain the last few days and it's cutting into his backyard play time!

Signs of Spring ~

 

I can see signs of Spring in these brand new leaves on my Hydrangea plants. 

Mom's Pink Geranium's ~

 

Pink Geranium

One of the many pretty plants I brought from 

mom's (Elfriede Haf, 1933~2010) home. Her patio

was packed with beautiful flowers and plants. 

3 Musketeers ~

 

This is the last of our Halloween candy . . . my grandson pointed out to me that there are only three of the "3 Musketeers" left . . . made me laugh!  I'm glad too that this is the last of the candy . . . too tempting.

San Diego Morning Sky ~

 

Had a beautiful sky this morning as I took my grandson to school! 

Mrs. Winchester's Roses ~
