I thought I’d share what God has blessed us with in our flower garden over the past few weeks.  It really has been amazing.  We planted the Clematis and the climbing rose just last year.  The rose was supposed to be a bush type with tiny roses like the one beside it, but apparently it was mis-marked.  The older rose bushes have buds, but have never produced such an abundance of blooms.  My gladiolas are beginning to bud also.  I hope that these early bloomers won’t mean there won’t be any in the summer. They have never been so early or perfuse, so we are trying to appreciate them now.
