I Beg Your Pardon...

 

Yesterday afternoon was a bit too hot for comfort for me, and I ended up sleeping through most of the afternoon (indoors). (But then not very well in the night...) 
 
This morning was a bit cooler and overcast, but not yet raining, so I went for a walk into town to stock up on tea in my favourite tea shop at the main square. On my way home I passed by the Rose Garden in the town park, which as usual offers a lovely variety of colours in late summer. 
 
 
In the afternoon it started raining again - and forecasts say we can expect quite a lot of  showers throughout the rest of the week. I guess I'll just have to take it as it comes...


I beg your pardonI never promised you a rose gardenAlong with the sunshineThere's gotta be a little rain sometimeWhen you take you gotta give so live and let live or let go

  1. Loved the roses, and I sure understand sleep during the day plays heck with sleep at night. Hope your weather is more comfortable.

  4. Ever since I worked in a plant nursery a few months ago I have had an obsession with roses. I now have 4 in my garden.

  5. Oh. That voice! For some reason I really loved that song with Lynn Anderson singing it.

    1. Graham, whenever I happen to think/write "rose garden", it pops to mind for me!

  6. The roses are lovely. They are such fragile blooms that I hope they don't get a battering from the rain.
    Enjoyed the song - I'd forgotten how much I used to enjoy singing along when it was popular!

  7. Roses are beautiful! Are the ones you show us here scented?
    I know the song but don‘t think I have ever seen a video. What a great dress!! Like a Barbie doll from that era.

    1. Meike, there is a sort of fence around the rose garden so I did not stick my nose into any of them... But I guess at least some of them are scented. - I agree, Lynn's dress and hair in that video is indeed very Barbie-like :)
