………………….Once again the beautiful climbing roses are in bloom!……When I moved into this house in 1992 the roses were already here, and already mature!….so they are quite old, but every year they grow and bloom like clockwork!….When I took these photos there were so MANY BEES!!! working, working, working….flying from blossom to blossom gathering the pollen…..I LOVE BEES! If you don’t bother them….they don’t bother you….they have a job that must be done, and they are EXTREMELY FOCUSED!…..unlike YELLOW JACKETS that will dive bomb at you for no reason….them I hate!…..but not the beautiful hard working bees…….The Black Eyed Susan are starting to grow in the flower beds beneath the roses, and they should be beautiful and last into the fall……..That’s if the bunnies don’t eat them all!……………….AIN’T SUMMER GRAND!
