Ruby Rose's Garden Report: July 5, 2024

 It is the second week of my garden report. We were going to start in Foley’s Garden but the butterfly bushes in River’s Garden have bloomed and I thought you would like to see one of them.

Next up is, in Foley’s Garden, a turf war between a Wood Lilly and the daisies which the Lillies are winninThe New Guinea impatiens are doing well this year. Sometime they struggle in the hot sun, but this batch looks good

Here is another picture of Shasta daisies which are doing better without fighting for attention with the Wood Lillie

Here is Saint Anthony looking at the Johnny Jump Up Daisy like he didn’t order them and does not intend to pay for them.

Big Impatients in a wheelbarrow, little Impatients in a window box.

We have moved to Pocket’s garden where another wood Lily lives.

Twelve years ago Hobo Hudson sent us a little Hydranga. It is now the star of Pocket’s garden.

The Ditch Lillies grow good in Pocket’s garden too

The large Siebold’s Plantation Lily Hostas is just starting to bloom

The Ditch Lillies in the Ruby Rose Rose garden is awakening

The Plantation Lilly around the big fake rock are small and real.

And finally in the Ruby Rose Rose Garden is the 100-year-old Ruby Rose bush.

That is it for my garden report for July. I’ll check back in during August/

Larry was a very worried bear

Almost to the point of despair.

It was a week before the polar bear ball

And did he have a date? Not at all

He didn’t have a  thing to wear

And no one to go with, Sabrina said  no as did Cousin Clair

The morning of the dance Brother Bruce found Larry sitting on a bank

And decided with Larry he needed to be frank

“If you want to attend.” Larry said “just go stag”

Larry answered that if he went with a gay deer he would be a punching bag

Bruce remembered what his mom said was, in dealing with Larry, a rule of thumb

Speak slowly and clearly because Larry is a litle dumb

Bruce knew Larry didn’t stand a chance

Because at the ball it would be clear Larry didnd’t know how to dance

So Bruce decided to do all he could do

To teach his brother to dance, knowing it would fail, in all likelihood.

They slightly swayed to and fro

Shuffling their feet in the snow

Until it was time to go
Larry was ready to put on a show

He strolled in asked for a dance from the first girl her saw
And when he began moving the other bears stood in awe

Because Larry moved like a hair ballerina 

Impeessing his date, the princess polar bear, Angelina

He slipped, he slid, he stopped, he bopped, he bumped a did the grime

He moved so quickly he did not see the line

His thoughts in his dancing paradise

He fell through the ice

Usually Larry would have been crestfallen

But he did not care that he had fallen

But nothing bothered him because he had found the answer

From this day forward Larry was a dancer
