A Bit Of Paradise Past: Part 3 MyCalifornia

[silversaver888]

I can still remember the blooms.

Roses of so many colors and varieties.

I can still smell the sweet fragrance

permeate the air in the morning and at night.

I still can dream... after all.

The front yard had twenty five to thirty varieties of roses. There were always five or so flowering at each time, and often times they are all blooming. At the very front (I can't locate the photos), are red roses that has over-taken the surroundings of a Locust Tree. Opposite it, I planted a Birch Tree! That tree gave me joy that I would greet it whenever I passed it, as if it was a sentinel for the house.

Beside the Birch Tree ... is my mail box.

In the next episode of A Bit of Paradise Past, I will bring you around the yard of my first home which sits in a third of an acre lot.

Hey @silversaver888 these pics were sights for sore eyes. Thank you for sharing them. I must admit I'm more of a daisy fan than a rose person, but these colours made me feel a bit better on a very difficult day 🌹

[silversaver888]

Awww... I hope you will go through this day difficult day,
and glad that I made it easier for you.
It pleases me to hear that these pictures made you happy, @andrastia!

[merilin077]

The рose , all over the world fills the soul with beauty.She has always looked like a Queen to me.It was a pleasure reading your post!Thank you.
And now a Bulgarian rose from me!!

[silversaver888]

WOW, a pink Bulgarian rose!
Is the Bulgarian rose a variety?
I'd like to know more about it!
Very scenic, that place where the photo was taken, @merilino77.
(It is 077, or just 77?)

[merilin077]

Hello.This is a special variety of oil-bearing rose that grows in special conditions and climates.The rose oil, which is the base of every perfume, is produced in my country Bulgaria.I will write an article about it.Good week to you! 😊🌼
((It is 077)

You are such a prolific poster! I am such a slow poster, but, the words don't come as easily to me as you, This is part three. How many parts did you do? :) I like a good saga!

The garden is simply gorgeous! I am a huge fan that takes on the land and becomes part of it, rather than planted in severe standardization. As I say that, I do like formal gardens, but, not at my house, and you certainly had the Midas touch when you put these gardens together. As flowing and casual as these gardens look, it is actually a lot of work to keep them growing, looking like have lived there all their life. :)

You are definitely a master gardener! This proves it!

[silversaver888]

It will probably go for a while, hehe😊
I lived there for 11 years.
And I was planting every week, would you believe it?
Everything was growing, the land was fertile!
I have uploaded Part 4 for tomorrow morning's Wednesday Walk.

[dswigle]

Thanks for the heads up!

Every week!! That was almost insane! 😁 and how fun!!

[silversaver888]

Every week! In fact more than that!
The first two years I was working like crazy.
I had so much energy, couldn't wait for the plants to grow...

[elizabethbit]

It looks very peaceful and relaxing there. I'm not sure I could have left it behind. Thanks for sharing sis!

[silversaver888]

Yes, it was foolish of me!
Lesson learned.
But... I'm happy, sis!

Hugs and Kisses 🥰🌺🤙!!!

[elizabethbit]

When we moved from Colorado to Washington, I really would have loved to take that house with us and relocate it! It was my dream house, but alas, that wasn't possible, and I have never seen another quite like it. I understand sis...🌸😘🤗💕

[silversaver888]

I am not the only one?
That was silly of me!!!

[elizabethbit]

No, not silly; I think maybe it's just us two! Just kidding! I suspect there are a few of us around who wish for the house we used to have. (sigh)

[silversaver888]

So very peaceful @silversaver888, an oasis of blooming roses!😀
Your house looks like a wonderful refuge from the hectic world we live in!😀

[silversaver888]

It was a refuge alright!
In the backyard, you can hardly hear a thing!
I missed it!

[silvertop]

I really understand @silversaver888 ....I would buy our house back in Colorado if I could!😌
