Last Rose Of Summer

It's been a long busy summer dear friends and I've missed writing and sharing all the daily bits and going's on's here at Foxglove Farm.  Agatha continues to faithfully keep watch for possible squirrel insurrections in the backyard and I find myself longing for just a few extra minutes to sit down and enjoy a  good old-fashioned writing jag as I call them.

I hope this finds you well and enjoying these beautiful last days of summer.I have a climbing rose right outside my kitchen door who has amazed visitors all summer long with her fragrant red blooms.  If you're a rose grower, she's called Climbing Red Eden and is worth any effort to acquire, incredibly fragrant with that wonderful old rose fragrance that has been lost from many modern roses.

The window box outside my kitchen still spills over with a riot of beautiful blooms, we'd best be enjoying all this extravagance of color, winter is right around the corner.  No worries, fall is yet to come with her wealth of autumn leaves and will keep us content until those first snowflakes start, so enjoy these long days of late summer wherever you are my friends!
