The Best Rose in my Garden
If I had to choose the best rose in my garden it would have to be Double Delight. If you only have space for one rose bush in your garden I would heartily recommend this lovely rose.

Do you Talk to your Roses? I do!
If you talk to your roses we’re on the same wavelength. Because I talk to my roses every day. As I walk up and down the rose beds I have an encouraging word for each one. Sometimes it’s a word of admiration – at other times a nod of recognition. Then I go in and deadhead any spent roses making appropriate comments all the while. Ok so you think I’m nuts!

This is particularly interesting in view of the recent cover story in Time magazine about Obama and McCain, where the headline read “Does Temperament Matter?’ Of course it does!

Temperament is all important not only to politicians but to each and every one of us. It guides our thinking, our attitudes to life and therefore our actions. Not only does…

Picasso – A Highly Eccentric but Famous Artist
Picasso was one of the most eccentric yet famous artists of the 20th century. Undaunted by the rules of convention he forever changed the face of art with his dynamic and revolutionary approach. Picasso enjoyed publicity and never really left the stage. And now, once again he is in the news.
