The new guttering installation continued and moved to the back deck.
.
.
Where a lovely rose I planted last year is starting to bloom.
.
.
And since things were not going smoothly with said installation….
.
.
I concentrated on the gardening.
.
.
Look… my first gay feather!
.
.
Installation complete, it was time for the hose.
The water test did not go well.
.
.
Not well at all ….
.
.
So…. peonies!
.

And Lord Dudley Mountcatten who was watching water leak from the gutters through an open window. When the cursing started, I moved around front.
.
.
To the old stone garden bed under the crabapple tree the previous owners had made. I added some hostas and New Guinea impatiens this year.
.
.
And constantly wonder why they didn’t use the same size stones all the way around.

River's world..... 
The cursing always starts after we test… It’s tradition.

Unless he used seamless gutters, he may as well have just skipped the water test and gone straight to the bucket brigade. Is that Rose a Joseph’s Coat?

Sadly I can’t remember the name of that rose. Which is a shame because it’s doing so well I’d love a few more.
