Rainy Street
This is the second Saturday in a row that it has rained. I am finding it a little frustrating as I had hoped to go to Longwood Gardens today. Still my fridge is getting cleaned and Murphy seems to like having me around to bully.

Here is an aster from a few weeks ago, when the sun was out:
Purple Aster
Little White Aster
Actually taken the last weekend of summer but asters are fall flowers.

Pink Tuberous Begonia
Unlike yesterday’s begonia, this one is perennial dying back each winter. It is in the one of the shadiest places and obviously loved the wet summer as it has bloomed better than ever before.

On Sunday morning, Jean and I escaped from the Sock Summit, yes they let us go, and headed out to the International Rose Test Garden. We were obviously there at the right time of the year, as there were rows of roses:
Roses as far as the eye could see
Hadn’t I had enough sensory overload from the Sock Summit Market? The roses seemed to smell nice too; I let Jean do the smell testing but I tell there was a nice rosey smell without sniffing individual roses closely.
There were yellow roses,
Yellow Rose Bud
light pink roses,
Pink Rose with Bee
and dark pink roses.

and orange roses.

and cream roses.

and roses that dramatically changed color as they aged.
Yellow to red roses
These last are my favorite and yes, they start yellow and turn pink. It was quite stunning. Hmm, I wonder how many roses I can fit in my garden.

Raspberries
These look delicious but they are still as hard as a rock. When they are ripe, I hope I get them before the birds do. This is my first year for raspberries and I don’t know how greedy the birds will be. Yeah, these are not meant to fruit their first year, but I couldn’t resist getting a few raspberries.
Raspberries must be my favorite berry, if not my favorite fruit.
