You have a green thumb...and I can tell that digging the dirt is very good for you (and your garden.) I love the rose. My Mother's name is Rose, and I love to see different varieties. I haven't seen this one before, and I thank you for sharing the photo and the name of it. <br />As you prepare to move, know that I'm thinking of you...knowing that it must be difficult. Take care of you!!<br />Hugs,<br />J.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214796594702277709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041834369094012241.post-15035297522190205492012-05-27T16:48:04.070-06:002012-05-27T16:48:04.070-06:00So glad you had your "mental adjustment."...So glad you had your "mental adjustment." And I so enjoyed the visit to your blooms of seasons past--beautiful.<br /><br />I have run into a few roadblocks to my getting out and gardening as I had anticipated.

Will you be able to take anything with you? (Like the rose?)<br /><br />You're so right -- you still live there -- this is your home. We've moved so many, many times -- and I've been in your same position; it's tough. I also sold real estate for a number of years and I know that it only takes one person -- may sound stupid, but I found that comforting.

Be patient, real estate is still slow. But, as with any transaction, someone will show up at your door step and find those flower beds irresistible.

I am also trying to sell the house in which I've lived for three years. I want to return to Minnesota although I don't have a place there picked out.<br /><br />I've had little "traffic" (the realtor's word) since putting the house on the market on Thursday April 26--just two couples. This house has no basement and here in what is called "Tornado Alley" most buyers want a basement.<br /><br />But like you, I still find things to do to make this house into my home for as long as I'm here.<br />Good luck with selling!<br /><br />Peace.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00612299013780771262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041834369094012241.post-78914559998470140492012-05-26T13:43:39.144-06:002012-05-26T13:43:39.144-06:00So sorry you are moving, but you will love your co...So sorry you are moving, but you will love your coming home again.
