It won't do any good to call the men with the little white jackets. I can outrun them.

Lovely. My wife has some growing but they are yellow.

Thank you. I will have a red one, a yellow one and a pink one when they have them soon.

Thank you Walter.

I'm just pretending to be a genius, but I know that everyone who loves flowers would love having these tiny beauties.

When I looked at your post at first I only looked at the flowers. When I went back and looked again, when my Wife was still alive She would have loved that bench in the first image. It is very pretty. Is that the results of one of your projects?

No Walter, I bought it a long time ago at a Rural King farm store. I dry-brushed the black horses with copper paint and it sat in the yard for many years. The wood finally began to rot. I brought it to Alabama with me and I am going to put new wood on it and out it on my front porch. My porch is enclosed, so it won't see any more rain. Now all I have to do is decide what color I want it.

My old mama used to grow these. She called them Cecil Brunner roses.

Thank Don. I can grow most things, but I lose one now and then. My secret is "Pick things that are easy to grow OR that grow without help". LOL!

Oh okay, well I hope you have great results replacing the wood. There is a Rural King about 4 miles up the interstate here where I live. Wonder if they still sell them; probably not. It sure is a beautiful bench.

Thanks Walter. You are so lucky to have a Rural King. They have almost everything a person could ever need. If they don't have this particular one, I'll bet they have some kind with horses on it. They have all kinds of things with horses on them as well as horse supplies. I'm thinking you will most likely find something there that you'll like! Hope you do.

My Daughter is familiar with it. She lives out further in the country, and she goes there for dog food for their 3 rottweilers (big babies) that she trains and they also have 24 Angus and calves every summer. I think she is trying to feel like they are in Texas. She keeps telling me that I should go in there and look around when I'm going to Walmart to get some minor things. It's about 8 minutes away from Walmart, but figure it's mostly for animals and farm things so I haven't been there yet. Guess I better check it out.

Oh my, you should go there. They have everything, not just farm stuff. There's not one near me or I'd be there once a week to see what's new. They have delicious Amish jams and jellies, all kinds of food, things for the house, decorations for the yard, You can't imagine. Go when you have plenty of time so you can see everything. It's a BIG place. They usually have free coffee and free popcorn. I have to make sure I stay away from the cakes and candy, especially the salt water taffy.
When I lived in Tn, we had 77 horses, 27 ducks, 40 chickens, a pit pig, pet goat and about 30 barn cats (BIG horse barn) Pig and goat never lived inside a fence. They ran free in the yard with our 2 great Danes and German Shepherd. We called it the funny farm.
When Joe passed away, I could not take care of all that so I moved to town in Alabama to be near my son and DIL. I hate living in town but I was 92 when he passed away and I knew I'd better get situated before I got OLD. LOL!
I am finally getting used to being 2 blocks from my pharmacy, Little Caesar's Pizza, the Dollar tree and Auto Zone, 2 miles from Walmart other stores, the river and the huge waterfall in town, so I'm OK.
Seriously...check out Rural King. You'll be glad you did!

I read your info & advice twice
I’m going to give a miniature rose a try in my flower bed.

Thanks
