My rose bush has decided that since it isn't so hot anymore it's time to put out lots of new blooms. I think I should give her some rose food again. This batch of blooms is noticeably smaller than the ones earlier in the year. I blame having to bring her inside the back room so many times recently. Can't wait for the official end of hurricane season.

This may end up being the winter I finally pay a professional to even out the entire lot and install drainage. (I live in southern Louisiana. I'll be able to count the number of freezes this winter on one hand.) Better to do that kind of work when it's not over 80F outside.
