stop and smell the roses

May 28, 2014 by jillyandjerry

it’s almost time to leave on our next trip. (I thought I’d do a practice blog to get in the swing of things).

I hope our trip will be of interest to you this year. we changed our destination from capitols of the dakotas to the capitol of Alaska, Juneau. our 48th capitol. with global warming and all, we thought we better get up there and see a glacier. ha ha. well, I guess it’s not really a joke. it is happening, they are melting, for whatever reasons.

we will leave the 17th of june and will probably be gone a few months. we’ll also be re-visiting a lot of our favorite places in Washington, Canada, and Oregon. speaking of Oregon, we hope to see the international rose garden with roses this time.

and, speaking of roses, I thought i’d share some pictures of our roses with you. they did really well this spring. the back yard has suffered from our lack of attention when we are gone for months at a time. but the roses just keep on blooming. even if I don’t get the weeds pulled.

The roses are really pretty – I especially like Double Delight! I might take the girls up to the Seattle area this summer – maybe we’ll bump into you!
