It is always nice to come home from a trip and see my roses. This is true even in December.

It was too dark when I got home last Saturday, but I took this picture on Sunday. You can see that I still have a lot of yellow roses.

I have a few Tropicana roses, but not too many. In this picture you can see Old Blue who had now been relegated to the curb.

Here is a closer view of the yellow roses.

The roses are a little ragged from the rain, but still look pretty nice.

One last view from Sunday. I took this after mowing the lawn. You can see the rose bushes to the right and on the left the shadow of Old Blue. I will only have the shadow of Old Blue on my lawn for another week.

Now for some sleep. I am still really tired when I get home from work. The jet lag is still hanging on a bit.
