I'm not sad to see January go. It was a grim month here. Too cold and wet to go outside. Not much on TV aside from news of the latest war horror stories. Even reading was a chore because most of my books are downstairs in the library and my days of running up and down stairs are over.
February is International Friendship Month. Let's hope there's more evidence of international peace this month. The thumbnail photo for this month is of 'Sweet Harmony.' This Gaujard hybrid tea is one of my favorite roses. It grows well in my garden with no special care, producing lots of lovely blooms with a sweet fragrance.
