It does have to be kept from growing on the roof though. On the other wall is Virginia Creeper. That is my favorite because it has a brilliant red in the Fall.Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15806756079227306837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741900454446886953.post-58187343804836358662007-06-19T06:05:00.000-05:002007-06-19T06:05:00.000-05:00WOW!

It means so...Mary - Thank you for the compliments. It means so much to me that others enjoy our gardens as much as we do. I will try to keep naming my photos - I'm getting the hang of posting now and it is much easier.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Kate - I love the Goatsbeard, but unfortunately, it doesn't last too long. That's why I like it so much. Joyce is my literary "project" for the year and it's tough going. I'm happy you're feeling better and did not take offense at what I had written. I'm sure there is someone just waiting to meet you and add joy to your life.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Carol - Thanks for stopping by and yes, definately I'll mark my calendar right now!! Won't miss it next month.Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15806756079227306837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741900454446886953.post-73386014557232966612007-06-18T16:45:00.000-05:002007-06-18T16:45:00.000-05:00I always say, "better late than not at all".

Quite different events!<BR/><BR/>Now mark your calendar for July 15th, to do another post for Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!Carol Michelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796344366326535406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741900454446886953.post-68020497781928348432007-06-18T14:59:00.000-05:002007-06-18T14:59:00.000-05:00Your tippy pots are looking great.

Goatsbeard is so pretty - the windowboxes under your bedroom window look great and the hostas there are stunning. <BR/><BR/>I didn't know about James Joyce and Bloom's Day. That was really interesting ... you are courageous taking on 'Ulysses'. That is supposed to be a tough read... one I have never attempted. <BR/><BR/>Your pig and your welcoming bear are so sweet - I love them. <BR/><BR/>Thanks, too, for your caring and your comments in my blog. They are much appreciated. Today I am feeling at peace - my friend is a wonderful person and I will always be grateful for having known him.katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03979577122006222781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741900454446886953.post-30951799104005735892007-06-18T08:00:00.000-05:002007-06-18T08:00:00.000-05:00Alyssa,Those flower boxes and incredible!
