Donna's roses! 

Last fall Donna (and Ray - friends in Grand Forks) gave us a few rose bushes. And this year we have roses. Beautiful little pink roses!

I've never grown roses, but she guaranteed me these were pretty much maintenance-free. And she was right - here they bloom and I didn't have to do much of anything. Never even had to water for the first 4-6 weeks, it rained so much. But a few days of sunshine and voila!!

We were concerned that the deer might eat them, for that is the reason she uprooted them to a new home, but so far we've been very blessed. I guess they've found someone else's roses to nibble on. Thank you Donna for the roses - and thank God for giving the deer lots of other flowers to eat!
