Ernie without Training wheels, the beehive in the tree, bradford pear in color!

Gene had so much fun with Ernie -- who has been asking to have his
training wheels taken off for a year. they went back on - higher, so
he can gain some balancing skills. Love the Bradford Pear and its
lovely colors, as well as the Japanese Maple. Dru is standing next to
a rosebush I planted this year, this is the last Rose for the year (I
think - though Queen E is busting out some new blossoms) I can't get
over how TALL this rose is, and how long it has been on the stem - 2
months?
