Carpet on the deck

Rain this morning, dull later, warm sunshine this afternoon. Can't complain!

Haven't been out today - catching up with various things before we go away for a few days - cleaning out the (tiny) pond, cleaning out the (tiny) fish tank, sorting, potting and weeding plants and dealing with all the Keep Oban Beautiful and other local stuff. Not sure if I'll be able to Blip for the next few days - it depends on being able to send from my camera. We're off to Mull until Saturday night.

This little rose is 'Pink Flower Carpet and is growing in a planter on the deck. It's really a ground cover rose and is only slightly fragrant - nice one though.

Quote of the Day:

Kahlil Gibran - “The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose.”
