a couple of roses and Ernie with the fig tree

Someday, when we're eating figs in the middle of summer I'll pull this
picture out to show Ernie. And the roses? Just spectacular. I
planted 20 of them -- mostly end of season, 1/2 alive at best $1.47
apiece at Lowe's on special. I hope they winter well here and produce
even more beautiful blooms next summer.
