In Bud

Rose

Almost as much as the flowers,  I love the way my plants look when they are in bud form. I have had a great time the past few days taking pictures in my garden of all the buds--about to bloom.  The weather this weekend was perfect gardening weather--sunny but cool,  and I got a lot done, staking plants, pruning some shrubs, deadheading the peonies, weeding,  and general neatening up. As I write this there is a nice gentle rain falling, a wonderful sound for a gardener.
