new years day~

Woke up to a gorgeous sunny day and was eager to visit the garden. Much to my surprise I still had a few blooming roses to tall for the deer to reach...

these unpruned roses stand 6-7' tall!

verses the 18" pruned roses...

My husband put legs on a huge oak burl we had for a new garden coffee table

The girls instantly enjoyed it~ 

Katie found it worth howling about!

 It was a wonderful start to the new year, working in the garden, walking with the dogs and followed up with champagne in the hot tub, may every day be so blessed.
