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.<br />
<br />
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. <br />

Welcome back to the Rivercrest Rose Garden!<br />
<br />
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!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>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.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>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!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Please enjoy some pictures, videos and comments in the next few days here in the Rivercrest Garden.</i></span><br />

<br />
Click on the link above to see a picture story of our walk in Charleston last Friday, April 21 - It was an absolutely perfect spring day - almost too hot though! I won't complain because the light and the breeze was just fabulous. Not to mention the scent of Confederate Jasmine - which you see here all along the walls. It totally filled the air and was so pretty!! We were so fortunate to be there while it was blooming. We may have missed the azaleas and the wisteria - but I think this was even more special! Mike and Coco are in many of the pictures - and Romeo was on my arm. The pictures aren't exactly the best - but I was hanging onto Romeo the whole time.<br />

<i>so.......<br />While we were walking around the garden, listening to the buzzing bees, chirping birds in our thicket hedge of azaleas,<br />Camille decided to pick a white clematis bloom from the 10+ year old vine growing on a white trellis at our "little garden house" by the small fish, frog and turtle pond.<br />I was standing with her and there - right in front of us, not even hiding, was a bird nest about the size of a grapefruit! Camille held her phone over the top - being careful not to touch it at all - and took a few photos. <br />To our sincere astonishment - there were pretty hefty eggs inside! Beautiful, speckled and perfect bird's eggs. <br />My husband, the botanist and biologist gave us an assessment of "not sure" of which kind of bird's eggs they are. We think Cardinal (based on the fact that the nest is about 5 feet off the ground) but there is a good chance they are Robin's eggs. They do look pale pale blue to me. My favorite color is Robin's egg blue.<br />Take a look and let me know what your guess is!</i></h3>

Finally!<br />Here are a few pictures of my yard and roses as of this past week. Spring sprung - froze - then sprung again here in Eastern North Carolina. Typical....<br />Roses are growing great - looking great. The climbers are budding like crazy -<br /> well - not the Mermaid - but wow - is she getting stronger and taller - just amazing. I think she will live up to everything I have read about her.<br /> She WILL take over the trellis she is toppling over even now - and the Largo climber beside her. <br />My Graham Thomas continues to struggle on a fence at the back of our little courtyard. I think lack of 5 hours of sun is truly the culprit. We may have to move it halfway through the summer if it does not perform by end of June.<br />Enjoy these pictures and as always - leave a comment so that I know you were here - have a great Spring wherever you are!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<i><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></i>
<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">Painting from pictures that I have taken of my own roses while in bloom is what I like to do. I also have a collection of silk roses, etc., that I arrange with my teapots and vases and small ceramics.</span></b></i><br />

These birds seem to come about every 15 minutes - sometime closer together- to feed. They have their favorite perches and some are shy while others are downright bullies!<br />
<br />
The birds are purple finches, tufted titmouse, Carolina wren, Cardinal, Nuthatch, Carolina Chickadee, Mockingbird, Blue Jay, European Sparrow<br />
<br />
We feed them sunflower seeds, thistle seeds and a suet/seed combination feed from Lowes - they are the Carolina Wren's favorite. <br />

<i><span style="color: blue;">Hello friends of my blog!<br />I've been traveling in Central Europe- Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Slovakia, and Hungary for a few weeks and have some gardening pictures to share with you all.<br />My own roses are still not producing too many blooms - probably due to the hurricane that was in the beginning of October and the neglect afterward. They are now all cleaned up and cut down a little and hopefully will bloom at least once more before we have a frost. It is sunny and warm here - still like summer in a way. Indian Summer!<br />Here are a few pics from my trip - hope you will enjoy!</span></i></h3>

It's been awhile.....Hello!</h2>
<h3>
<i>Hello again everyone! I've been watching my rose garden closely, but not too many blooms on the vines to report - therefore - very little picture taking! Don't fret - there are enough to make a few bouquets (scant) for the house on a rotating basis - but just not flushes like the spring and June brought.</i></h3>
<h3>
<i><br />I thought I would report on our weekend day trip to Nags Head and Kitty Hawk, NC beaches and our great dinner at Ocean Boulevard restaurant in Kitty Hawk - overlooking the ocean peaking through the cottages beachfront.</i></h3>
<h3>
<i><br />Nags Head - Whalebone Junction - where the road to the beach forks- is only 2 hours from our house in Greenville, NC. Living in Eastern NC does have a few perks! Getting to Asheville is a little more driving time! Day trips are a great way to get away, enjoy a walk on the beach and then have a great meal of local seafood at the many restaurants on the causeway or the beach roads.</i></h3>

<i><a href="http://www.obbistro.com/_index.php" target="_blank">Ocean Boulevard</a> has been there for many years but is NOT your typical beach style fish house restaurant - it's gourmet! Interesting homemade dishes with fish from local catches - and homemade desserts like the one we had (and I forgot to take a picture of!). It was amazing! Ice Cream with triangles of a cookie style shortcake with a tangy sweet lemon buttercream filling between the piled up triangles- wow!</i></h3>

<i><b>Here are a few antique treasures of mine. They mostly hide in boxes or wait to be painted in my studio.</b></i></h3>
<h3>
<i><b><br /></b></i><i><b>Some are actually dusted regularly and admired always by me. A few have made it into a still life painting - well lit with backlighting for a few weeks at a time.</b></i></h3>
<h3>
<i><b><br /></b></i><i><b>The Chinese lacquered chest is home to most - dark, perfect for protecting delicate hand painting and gold leaf designs - painted 50 or more years ago, washed in dishwater regularly, dried with soft cloths before damaging Dawn was invented. </b></i></h3>
<h3>
<i><b>They still have the gold stripes and as long as I keep them carefully - they will have them still after I am gone.</b></i></h3>
