I thought I'd post and say Happy Birthday dear John! I miss you very much!

The rose I planted last autumn, is blossoming right in time, isn't that nice.

I've been to take a few pictures over the last few weeks, and you see the progress here.

This is a view from a distance.


This was taken about 2 weeks ago.


And these next ones about a week ago.


Here's a closer look




Yesterday, in full bloom


It's pouring down with rain and fits my sad mood, but I'll go over a little later to say Hi!
