I thought that I had posted a picture of my birthday rose, but it was apparently eaten by the interwebs. The featured picture this time should be it. My poor Dad was very sad not to have seen it. Sorry Dad!

We did some more gardening prep today. Fancy was extremely excited to help us dig and is currently passed out next to me, simply exhausted by all the smells. Here’s some gardening quotes to go along with our projects.

“If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.”

— Marcus Tullius Cicero

“If a tree dies, plant another in its place.”
— Carl Linnaeus

“Isn’t it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?” – Douglas Adams

“To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.” – Audrey Hepburn
