Let's dust this off

I was an officer in the Navy first time I heard this.  Our primary mission was to protect aircraft carriers from attack by Soviet air, ship and submarine forces.  After Glasnost I had the opportunity to go aboard a Russian ship and 'talk' with some of their sailors.  Everyone just doing their job.  

Some things never change.  

Spring flowers

Every winter I chop back this rose bush. We've had it for maybe 15 years and it continues to produce teacup size roses. I love that it doesn't need much of anything to grow and be healthy. I'll probably mulch it tomorrow but other than the watering that Dana does it is self sufficient.

Today is really the first day of our spring. It may get cold again but not seriously so. Now we can only hope for extended reasonable weather.
