One of the up sides to living in the South is the long blooming season. My rose bush is more beautiful in November than it is in June, because it's too hot in the summer. But, it's liking these 70-degree temperatures. There are 7 roses and 10 buds on it right now. I'm not sure I've ever seen it with that many flowers on it in the 4.5 years we've lived here. Must be from all that rain we got from two hurricanes passing through.
Oh- and that's great that your daughter has been to Israel twice! I would love to return but that may not happen so I'm glad for the three times I did get there!
