Blossoms Around Town

The first summer I was in my house, I planted a climbing rose. Last year, two babies separated from the main plant. Although it is mostly shady in the front, I decided to see if it would take there and grace the front entrance. It’s got one bloom and fresh leaves even in the heat wave. I will continue to tend it.

This morning, before going out to the United States Supreme Court and the Capitol to express my support for safe, legal, and accessible Abortion, I came upon a box turtle while helping to remove invasive shrub honeysuckle at Kingman Island.
