Well, friends, this is it. Today I take the plunge and start on the Big Mamma, my largest Rose Garden. I took a photo from an upstairs second story window with my macro lens, so it is not the best I could have done. I didn’t want to change lenses on my camera body, so I just went with it. And here She is:
I leave you with two images I took yesterday. The first one is of tiny buds that will eventually open found on a plant that I know of as Elephant Ear. The second image is of a tiny fern that is just coming up. Please enjoy the both.
Also, know that the comments I have not answered, I will do my best today to do so. As most of you know, I will not be able to get over to see your blogs nor will I be able to have the scrumptious chit chat that is the norm here. So hang in there with me, and know I am doing my best to get these gardens opened. The one I am working on now, is a mess, for real. Most of my lavender bushes look as though they did not make through the Winter, so I must do some very careful pruning today. I can smell them, so I do know there is Life there, and some parts are beginning to green.
My Roses are a no brainer to prune. There is a lot of work in this garden alone, so again I ask for help from you. Prayers, Intentions, Energy, Love, and Light all I do embrace to assist me with what lies ahead.
I Love you. AmyRose

(For those of you who understand what I am about to say, I ask for assistance to bring one of my cats, Doodles, back home. He did not come home last night and I know the stress of what is happening here (new windows and door being put in), has made his mind snap. I ask for help from those of you who know how to do this, to work with me to bring him back to his right mind so he will come back home. Thank you and Bless you!)
In Heaven On Earth 
Very cool captures of the tiny fern, Amy!! Love it 🙂

Kathy, he is. HE IS!!! He does not recognize me right now, poor guy. But I am SO SO relieved he is home. OMG! He’s never been out all night long. He is neurologically special and if his neck is out and there is a high stress in his life, he blanks out. With Love my Doodles will come back to us. Love, Amy

Even we are in the process of making a new garden, and bought 5 different types of rose plants last day.
Though my wife is the person in charge of garden my help is limited to transportation and a bit of manual labor 🙂
For me the motive is, flowers and butterflies, as you could guess 🙂

Now, Sreejith, if you don’t put in the LABOR of the garden, you won’t appreciate those beauties when they bloom. There is nothing like getting your hands in the earth. Of course I use leather gloves. Tee Hee. Yesterday I saw HUGE spiders in my Rose Garden *shudder* about the size of a quarter. Not sure if you know what that is, but these babies were BIG! I have never seen spiders around here that size. Yes, leather gloves do come in handy. LOL Love, Amy

Frankly speaking, my wife is the “Garden in Charge” and I am just an observer. When ever she needs any help I’ll go and help her out 🙂
But, as you said, you could feel the happiness of bloom fully, only if you had sweated for it.

such a wonderful escape! I just started a rose garden. I don’t have a green thumb but I am giving this a shot. I have had a few roses and some promising buds going on now. I am not a great photographer like you, but will take a snapshot when it is finished. Love this photo of yours, thanks for the inspiration (((hugs))) Holly!

Holly, any questions you have about Roses let me know. They are challenging to grow. This is not a flower you can just stick in the ground and let grow. A lot of tender loving care goes into a Rose. Insects and black spot are the two main deterrents that will hurt your Roses. Best of luck!!!! xx (((HUGS))) Amy

I am SO glad to see you back!!! Thank you for your words about Doodles. He still goes in and out of reality (impaired neurologically) but he is staying present for longer periods of time. All of my cats were SO frightened about what happened to Doodles, they don’t even want to go out right now. It really was a hell of a week with those windows being put in. WE are getting back to noramalcy and quiet. And oh, yes, I DO know how to be a cat. I’ve had much training. *laughing* Love, Amy
