Buttonhole rose

Not much opportunity for a photo today in spite of it being summer but it was cold and rainy. However the flowers know it's summer and I took this out of the window by my computer. Its just a tiny climbing rose.

Three good things:
1. Played some old music today from the 50’s like:
Hey Baby - won’t you be my Girl!

2. Made cream of carrot soup using stock I’d saved from boiling chicken bones!

3. Turning the light on in the evening now!

Never heard of cream of carrot soup before but it sounds good!

A beautiful perfect bud against a vibrant unusual back ground. We haven't noticed any difference with our light yet but by the end of the month should be ten minutes light longer hopefully.
