Well if my tum stops hurting long enough for me to do some work that is. My Crohn&#8217;s is acting up bad this week.The other day I went outside and took some photos of the garden.

Most years we do put some burlap or another form of protection around her, but we didn&#8217;t this past winter. I&#8217;m happy that her planter had lots of snow around it for the coldest months.<\/p>\n<p>I love this roses red branches.
