Winter in the garden and our home

August in the Garden
I have very few rose blooms as my roses seem to be dormant - waiting for cooler weather I'm sure. I do keep watering and the spell of daily rain kept them in good shape throughout July - no blooms though. The blooms we did have were few and far between and very small.
My Plumeria - grown from seeds and two that were purchased as 3 feet tall stems from a Florida grower 3 years ago - are doing great! My 3 year old ones are blooming for the first time. I am so proud of them - they live in the garage with a heater on all winter long until I can bring them out again in the Spring.

May is here!! Roses are in bloom!
Finally! Roses in bloom in my garden! The blooms are the largest I have ever had. It might be the new fertilizer or the hard winter, or just this perfect spring weather. Whatever it is - I'll take it! Enjoy my photo bombing!

January In Rivercrest
It's been too long. Welcome back to the Rivercrest Rose Garden!
Our birds this Fall and Winter have been very active. We feed them very well at several bird feeders throughout our back and side yard. Water fountains and bird baths are strategically placed near the feeders also. My husband purchased a new camera recently with zoom and special lenses just because we love to take pictures of our birds. I hope you enjoy some of these since the roses are all dormant right now!

June in Rivercrest
Welcome to all my blogging friends!
It's so easy to find something to blog about in summer when all our flowers and plants are blooming in profusion. This summer has been particularly wonderful in Eastern North Carolina due to low humidity and a great late afternoon temperature - perfect for sitting on the swing on our patio watching birds and listening to them sing.
Birds are the feature in our garden this year - self made feature! We have identified many and they have had babies in the thicket, our birdhouses and continue to procreate as I speak! Baby birds singing overcome all other sounds - save the teenager and his motorbike on the next street over!
Please enjoy some pictures, videos and comments in the next few days here in the Rivercrest Garden.
