WWC Tuesday!

BLACK and STRANGE are the WWC words.

BLACK

We had a blackout in December, it was our first bad storm of the winter and it was the ice and wind that caused the lines to go down and our power to go out. It was black as the ace of spades. But we just had to light a few candles and the blackness went away in that little area. It was so black outside tho…the entire town was without power!

STRANGE

This rose is a favorite of rose growers everywhere. It’s called Double Delight. It’s a hybrid tea so it’s kind of a diva, but it’s worth it to have one in the garden, in fact, I have two or three Double Delight bushes. The roses buds start out as a totally delicious creamy white, not a red spec on them and as the sun hits them more and more, the petals change from creamy white to bold, brassy red! It's sorta like they sunburn! I think that’s STRANGE! The fragrance of this rose is amazing and worth all the trouble this rose can cause!

  5. Great pics! Love the blackout.

    We had a big storm early this morning which woke me up. I thought about how I could use it for "black". Then I went back to sleep. LOL ;-)
