- Mother’s Day rose blooming for all it’s worth
November 3, 2011
This rose was a Mother’s Day gift to my wife from her daughter. It was blooming nicely on Mother’s Day. I planted it on the east side of our house. It shuddered for a little while until it got it’s feet buried in our soil. The rose then took off. It has bloomed every day since then. Today is November third and the little rose is still a sweetheart of a plant.
I don’t know the variety of rose, but I am sure it is mostly blooming from love. It was given on a wonderful day. It was meant to brighten my wife’s day and it sure has done its job!
It was a little cloudy today but warm and dry. The farm is starting to dry out. Farm work will be back on the agenda for tomorrow. The horses, long rested, will work with me tomorrow too. I have a long list of things to do before the winter snow covers us … so tomorrow will be the start of that dash to beat the weather.
A few plants need dead-headed. There is compost to apply to the orchard and new strawberry bed. The hog pens need cleaned and bedded and the chicken coop could use some new straw. I may even get to put compost on the garden by evening if the warm sun stays out along with the gentle, drying breeze.
I can start picking the ends of the corn field by hand. That corn would otherwise be run over by the picker and the ears wasted. I don’t like to see that. The horses stand quiet as I pick, so its no big job, in fact it is a fun job. The corn field is still very wet, but the ends are not too bad because the grass grows there.
I am enjoying the Indian summer…I would even say it is a sweetheart of a deal 😮
