Knock About

"A person doesn't have to live in the South to want...

to bask in the

rewarding afterglow of a hard day's work in the garden.

Southerners didn't invent these sorts of simple pleasures - we just refined them."

Carlton Riley Smith

Sunday morning:

Richard & Noah planted my pink double knock-about-roses in the back garden and the blue salvia in the front beds. What a hot, sweaty job! Seeing them covered in dirt & scratches is a testimony that roses really are the language of love. I look forward to watching the roses fill our garden with beautiful sights & smells.

Thanks, fellas, for speaking my thorny language!
