Ah, Darling Spring!

This is my Lady Banks Rose in the backyard -- she's just HUGE! And in full bloom right now. I trimmed her a bit the past 2 years, but she just keeps coming back. She is draped over an old monkey-bar set, giving that lovely arching shape.
Underneath the monkey bars, it's cool and green, a little cave. Julia likes to play in here.
Yellow roses against white azaleas.
Our lettuce is up! We had some last night in our fajitas.
Sandy is enjoying the spring. Isn't she cute with her little white tail-end?
