Sunshine and Roses and a WINNER!!!!!

The Lazy Daze of Summer ..... Almost Here

 Well, for cats, every day is a lazy day. They love the front porch in the mornings when its sunny. Sometimes there's a battle for the right spot. That's Norman, on the left, and Bodecia the "beaudacious babe" on the right. Norman's losing out on the sun, gradually, but he's such a gentleman, isn't he? He just goes right back to sleep. When you're a great hunter, like Norman, you need your rest.

Meanwhile, outside, on a derelict house in our town, a wild, wild rose is having its way with the old thing.....

.....it's climbed in behind the window covering and burst out the top!

It's blooming all over the place!

Joyously!

Intrepidly!

Coyly!

And Fragrantly! It smells like the sweetest of raspberries.

I've collected a cutting of it. Any rose so brave should have a space of its own. 

Will it take over my house? Possibly.......

And guess what? We've just drawn a name for the winner of a free pattern from Prairie Cottage Corner and she is.........ta-dah!
