The moon has already risen by 4pm this evening when this picture was taken.
The rose in our front garden will continue to flower almost until Christmas. It was already well-established when we moved here 40 years ago. Our neighbour said she thought it was called 'Princess Elizabeth'. These houses were built in about 1955 so it could well have been planted then.
By half past four the sky was a deep blue, and the moon shining brightly in the clear sky. It was noticeably colder; I shall be putting an extra quilt on my bed tonight.
How lovely to have the rose still flowering.
ReplyDeleteIt is very 'generous ' considering how little attention it gets
DeleteThe roses are beautiful. I sound ungrateful but I wish the rose we inherited in this garden was not yellow but another colour!!! We put an electric duvet on on Saturday and it is so warm!x
ReplyDeleteWe have a yellow rose at the front as well but it is not happy. We're thinking of digging it out and moving it to another part of the garden. I do prefer pink and red roses.
DeleteIt was cloudy here. I went outside at midnight to look for the Taurids meteor shower, and came straight back to bed again!
ReplyDeleteMidnight! I was fast asleep!
