Outdoor Wednesday

Susan over at A Southern Day Dreamer is our host.

Thank you Susan.

It has been a while since I did an Outdoor Wednesday post.

But I should warn you, lots of pictures.

Here goes.

At the beginning of the month we were at a Chorale concert at a Catholic Retreat Center.

There is a wonderful organ in their chapel.

It makes for a good place to have concerts.

My hubby was part of the concert when our church choir joined

another choir and a Brass and Wind Ensemble for a performance

of a Schubert piece.

Anyway, the grounds there is gorgeous and I got pictures.

Above is a picture of all their roses.

Here is another view.

This area is a nice place to wander and reflect if given time for that during

a retreat.

Now some close ups of the many flowers there.

I love this one.

A pretty cluster.

I thought this was an interesting arrangment of the roses.

These are blossoms on a tree. Not sure what kind of tree.

Looking back towards the roses.

Now a few pictures from my yard.

The Peace Rose.

We are getting so many blooms on this rose bush this year.

Never had that many before.

Look at all the buds still coming on the Peace Rose!!

Our grapes are starting to grow.

This looks upside down.

But it is not. Just not heavy enough to go the other way yet.

This miffed Helmi had to stick her nose in here to remind

you to check her out on my craft blog.

Helmi helps me show off what we have been to lately

in the craft world.

Happy Wednesday!
