This weeks Theme is GROSS

You do realize that the word Gross is french for Large don’t you? Ok well, now that we’ve established that I have a very gross Love and Peace rose bloom for you:

macro love and peace

Does anyone else grow Love and Peace?

It’s a blooming machine! Each bloom grows in size to about 4″ in diameter. My hybrid tea Love and Peach is going into it’s 5th year in my garden this year, and it’s been reaching heights of 5 feet or more the last two years. It always has at least 10 blooms if not 40, from June well into October or even November.

The roses start out kind of pinkish and then they become multi-colored- like what’s that theater production “Joseph’s amazing dream coat”? I find it to be a very loud rose – kind of gawdy in some ways, but between it’s performance in my garden and it’s amazing colours I don’t think I could live without one now.

Be thankful I chose this picture this week – I almost gave you guys a photo of earthworms mating! Now that would have truly been gross!






Need home or car insurance?

by

I’ve just visited a site that many of my UK based readers might want to visit- particularly if you are in the market for new home and car insurance.

You might be happy with the insurance company that is currently handling your coverage but it doesn’t hurt to browse around and get quotes from other companies every now and then in order to see if you can get a better quote. I know I try to save money whenever I can, and visiting insure121.com might save you some money.

What I like about the site is that it’s laid out in a user friendly manner. If you are looking for home insurance you just need to click on the home insurance tab and when it brings up the page you can view a list of various companies that offer home insurance and get quotes from them. It’s that simple!

While you are on the site compare car insurance or home insurance rates you can also read a number of interesting articles about insurance. They’re listed at the bottom of the main page and you might find them very helpful.
