Hi Greta - thanks for visiting my blog. I see we have similar interests and thoughts.
I started a garden blog last spring to keep track of my garden. Then another blog for thrifting, upcycling and vintage things. Then, just like you, I decided to start researching my family history which I knew/know very little about. It's been interesting and takes a lot of time. But I don't have to tell you that!
All the best things in life! And I (and my daughter) loved the pug and kitty pictures on one of your other blogs. We also love our animals (cats in the house and birds in the yard). Thanks for visiting my blog!
Oooh!! pretty! love this aqua green/paisley background, will have to check out the background sites you mentioned.
How do you grow roses from rootstock? Or at least resurrect a pitifully producing rose bush--if you could point me to an online resource or something I'd be grateful. I love flowers but need to learn about planting in SoCal & not break the budget on watering.
I love roses, cats & pretty graphics, as well. Noticed your comment on my peach cobbler post & felt bad about being behind on reading your blog--so, I discovered this! Serendipity. :)
Hi, rootdigger and Liz! Liz - we didn't try to grow the rose from rootstock, but the grafted rose stock died off, so the rose just grew from the rootstock on its own. I grew up in SoCal and don't remember us ever growing roses, though I'm sure my mother would have loved to. I may hate the swamp-like climate here in Virginia, but at least we usually get plenty of rain.
After spending my formative years paying no heed to all the family stories, I got hooked on genealogy later in life and am now trying to catch up. My husband and I had long ago developed an interest in graveyards and have enjoyed visiting them while on vacation. I have started two Graveyard Rabbit blogs as a way, in addition to my participation in Findagrave, to help make information to other people who are researching their family history.
If you would like to get in touch with me, simply click on the link below entitled "View My Complete Profile"; this will take you to my Profile page, where you can click on the "Email" link under Contact (right below my profile picture, aka my cat R.B. trying to catch a balloon).
