Hard To Beat ‘James’ .....!!!

At last my James Galway rose is coming into bloom....almost a month late this year.....I may have mentioned before (once or twice)!!! that roses are my favorite flower but this is one of the best of all...in my opinion anyway!!
There are dozens of petals in each flower like pretty ballerina skirts...and they create quite the ‘pink carpet’ when they fall..
The extra is the ‘whole shrub’ as it is today ...there will be more Blips of it as it continues to bloom...
The painting is going really well....the outside lookin so much better...we’re very pleased...
Our daughter graduated virtually today...receiving her Doctorate in Human Rights Law..from NUIG....
It was a little sad as a. We couldn’t be with her and b. We weren’t all together celebrating the great day in Galway...
But there will be a celebration when we can all travel and be together again...!!
