Its a Victorian Scroll Rose (I knew some would ask!) :) And it has 10 total buds on it. I will plant it outside when it warms up. There were only three with this color variation, and I grabbed the one with the most new growth on the plant itself.
Another long week. It was terribly cold earlier this week with another Arctic front, but it has gone away and temps are slowly coming up with some nice needed sunshine!! Things are melting and its either icy in the mornings, or muddy in the afternoons and evenings.
Friday I cleaned out two of the nesting boxes that had broken/frozen eggs in them, making them a mess. Henny Penny's aren't too happy with me for messing up their 'house'. HA Even the rooster had to get in on the griping--think he just decided to gripe to keep his girls happy by agreeing with them!
Got up early this morning to take Kyle in for speech team meet. I go out and start warming up the truck at 4:15 (A.M.)--he informs me "We aren't leaving until 5:45---the 4:45 time is NEXT week!" Ugh kid--I could of slept in another hour?!? ;)
Jared is on a "jump" weekend. They have to do certain Airborne jumps in various situations. They were talking about going to Canada, but the instructor might of came to them instead. I got a text a bit ago: "Survived Jump #6, tomorrow is Jump #7!" Translation: All went OK, no broken bones! (Several broke their legs/ankles in training.)
He got his Xbox going and is happy--an easy way to pass boring time for him when he's not working or studying or cleaning or........ ;)
Pat got his new Muzzleloader gun (rifle??) this week. He's a happy camper and of course can't wait to go out and shoot it. It's pretty, I need to take a picture of it. Its a "side by side"--has two barrels side by side. Interesting (to me) for a muzzleloader.
That is one of the most beautiful roses ever!
