I know I am starting to sound like a broken record, but I really, really love what you are doing here. Every piece strikes an emotional chord with me. The crows had me laughing last week because I had been writing about them to a friend the day before. They used to steal our eggs and milk when Aussie Farmers were delivering. And this rose story is beautiful. I sometimes feel guilty about the small patch of roses in our front garden. Should we have planted them at all? I don’t take nearly as much care of them as I should. The strongest of them all is pink, prolific and beautifully scented. She’s definitely showy so I remember to deadhead her semi regularly. Some of the others are more retiring, so the rose hips flourish. After reading your piece, I’m not going to feel bad about that any more :)
Beautiful! Love love your writing.
Thank you Olivia. I'm glad you are enjoying Mostly Outside.

It's a broken record that I love hearing Ann-Marie. :) Your delight delights me. Enjoy your roses!
