My cousin Brenda lives in Fairbanks, Alaska. She sent bunches of pictures to me via e-mail, and it looks like their fishing trip was one for memories.
Awhile later came a photo which totally surprised me. This sets aside the idea that Alaska is all cold and igloos.

She says, “This is a picture of the roses on my back deck. We have to start from scratch every year but the results are impressive. I think these are especially pretty.”
This evening, we all say
~~love and Huggs to Everyone, especially for London, England
What magnificent flowers. Thank you for sharing this photo.
Yes, London. I am deeply sobered by this day.
Love you, sis
Gorgeous!

Beautiful photo! Roses are pretty amazing and very hardy when you consider all the climates that they grow in. Here on the desert, we have the most beautiful roses in the spring and again in the fall.
Those roses are beautiful.
I’m so glad you posted the recipe. I’m not the best at baking-unless its out of a box- But I’m going to give it a try. Wish me luck!
Hi Diane,
Thanks for sharing the roses with your readers. I have six bushes this year. They are all colors and sizes. I also have gorgeous star gazer lilies. It is raining today but I will try to get you a picture of them.
Tempe tried to priint out your receipe only to print out your entire blog. She will get the hang of it after a few more tries. She will enjoy seeing her name in your blog comments. Love Brenda
