There is such thing as color in Las Vegas, you just have to provide it yourself. When Hubby was courting me, rather than duel any other suiters, he brought me a Georgia Peach rose bush to replace the tree in the front lawn that broke in half during a high wind (think Vegas tree, it was only 4 inches in diameter). He further impressed me by planting the rose bush and ensuring it would survive.
During the summer, the rose struggles in our 100+ temperature, but now that it has cooled down to the 80's (nope, not a type-0), it is flourishing. The other day I counted at least 20 buds ready to bloom! Here are a few pics I took....
Not bad for fall colors in the desert.
As for last blog's poll, first, thanks to those who noticed I used the wrong "sheik", good work, I was informed the appropriate form was "chic"! In any event, the poll was widely split, almost even, no choice received more than 2 votes. Chic American cities was the only choice to receive no votes and considering many of my family are living in these cities, there would be no need for you to vacation to there. I chose camping in the mountains, but would happily partake in any vacation available, and am eagerly awaiting a Thanksgiving vacation to a mountain cabin in Yosemite.
This blog's poll tackles a subject already touched in other family blogs....Christmas advertisement timing.
