Your photo of Constance Spry reminds me of my own mother as she tried growing it. When I am in my garden, which was hers, I feel her often and think she is smiling when she sees how some gardens have been expanded, all while retaining the plants she worked so hard to grow in her basement. I thought the other day that it is I who is benefitting from plants that she planted that are only now reaching their prime. I look at them and wish she could see them now –– but maybe after all she is looking at them. It is a gift to the future to start plants today. And now my garden is her vision of the future. A growing legacy. I'm sure your Mother takes delight even now in your beautiful roses!<br /><br />Ellie's friend from canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14240956258453579270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-66336935975367912892017-07-03T23:22:44.970-07:002017-07-03T23:22:44.970-07:00This is a beautiful view to your mother's apar...This is a beautiful view to your mother's apartement building-our dearest continue to live in our memories<br />I've never heard about Cut Loose line of clothes-will check it,but this dress looks like a dress I would like to wear during the summer-I like to wear wide dresses or pants (prefer linen and silk,linen is the best-so difficult to find a fine linen dress)<br />I've finished Elisabeth Strout's My Name is Lucy Burton (BuffaloGal recommendation),a poignant story about history of difficult family relations ,especcially Mother-Daughter, a sad one for me<br />DottoressaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-68121183732605670642017-07-03T22:38:07.075-07:002017-07-03T22:38:07.075-07:00A perfect pink rose, nothing more delightful.

Your dress and top really appeal to me too, and I know what you mean about those styles often swamping the petite woman. I have tried on similar items, often finding I look quite silly in them. But it is worth persevering, as you have found. Easy care for a casual Summer life.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-83950537376810776672017-07-03T22:21:11.598-07:002017-07-03T22:21:11.598-07:00Pretty tops.

They are loose but I find them great for hot weather. I finished Jane Eyre and have book club on Wednesday. My next book is a Donna Leon mystery. I'll have to reserve some more books at the library. You have such a collection of roses! Your garden must be very fragrant.Madame Là-bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703782237948233124noreply@blogger.com
