Roses in the Desert - Julia's Beauties!

 



Julia, a good friend, doesn't live too far from our house.  She grows some of the most beautiful roses, not something I originally thought would do well here in the Desert Southwest.  But they thrive and aren't subject to many of the diseases as in more humid areas (no nasty chemicals used on them!).  Before the pandemic, Seamus and I would visit her at least once a week, usually on a Saturday afternoon for 2 hours or so.  Once the pandemic hit, we still visited, socially distanced outside, through heat and cold.  Seamus adores his Aunt Julia.  She spoils him by feeding him many of his favorite organic bison and apple jerky treats and loves on him throughout the stay.  

I'm not sure how many years I've been doing a "Julia's Roses" blog - at least 3 or 4 now.  This is the newest addition  - a few weeks late but it's done.  So, if you love roses, I'd appreciate if you take a look, and, if you are so inclined, leave a comment on the blog itself.   Social media links are below the red rose.  Here's the link to the blog:

I am thrilled to be taking part in the Studio again this year. Local photographer Nina Eaton of Nina Eaton Photography - graciously invited me to set up my handmade, one of a kind Shadow Dog Designs jewelry at her house again. With Mother's Day quickly approaching, it's a perfect time to pick up a wide variety of photographic work (photographs, coaster, magnets, etc) of local landmarks and unique jewelry - something for even the pickiest of Moms! In addition, we each are giving away a $35.00 gift certificate - all you need to do is fill out a registration form and hope your name is drawn. Below is a flyer with the individual information for Nina's studio:
