work, mow, sleep, walk the dogs, mow, water the garden...And then be amazed at how much something has grown. A month ago or so, I bought 2 bare root climbing roses. They were on clearance, because it was late in the season and they hadn't sold. One of them had one little clump of leaves. The other one was green, but no leaves, no little place where leaves might appear in a few days. Nada. But I planted them anyway. I watered them, and then it started to rain. And kept on raining. A couple of weeks after planting them, where there had been a small clump of leaves there was a branch about 6 inches long, and that plant had several other groups of leaves coming out. Now, it has several branches that are over a foot long, and its a good thing that I've already put fence up for it to climb on. The second plant also has several branches growing and growing. This may not seem exciting to anyone else, but I've had several roses die since I've been here. And I think that these are going to flourish. So I'm completely thrilled about every leaf and branch.
