May Rose
Peak bloom for the Apothecary rose
Strong winds, and widely fluctuating temperatures have given the roses a beating, but they still stand.

Quince blossom
A sun break between rain storms.
A little sun yesterday gave me a chance to enjoy the quince that is in bloom on the porch. A very large storm is forecast for today, but it is almost 5:00pm and it has only produced drizzle. The 60 mph gusts of wind may develop tonight, but somehow I don't expect they will.
