I can not grow roses at this altitude but the Columbine love it here. These are last summers colors.
Milo and I headed down the drive way at 7:10 this morning. For some reason, Malcom would not go out the front door. That is usually a sign the the Mt. Lion has been around. If that was so, Milo would have stayed in also. I think Malcom just wanted to sleep a little more. We stopped at the flag pole, raised the flag and honored our service men and their families. There are 18 names on my list now. I have been asked how I get the dogs to sit at attention. It's easy. I keep a pocket full of treats. They know they will get a treat if they "sit" while I raise the colors. We have some new neighbors that live just below the road. They have a not-so-friendly dog. This morning it charged at me, showing its teeth, hair on end and tail down. Not a good situation. Milo, my protector, took care of the situation. He thought it wanted to play. I'll have to share treats with it. It may take a while but we will become friends.
When we returned home, a cold wind started to blow. It's 30 degrees colder today than yesterday. I walked by the garden and noticed a subterranean prelude. The rhubarb is starting to show it's red tops. A sure sign spring is here.

Those columbine blow my mind. I have never seen such large and beautiful ones in my life. I'm really not sure what grows that well in western Pa. Chris
I had never seen a columbine flower... they are beautiful. I'm going to post more of my North Carolina spring time photos today. Come by and visit. bea
I LOVE roses, but I must say these Columbines are sure lovely. Taking walks with my dog around the neighborhood, looking at all the neighbors yards and flowers is so relaxing. I love the beauty of each season, but flowers really make me smile.
