Note: Be sure and check out the two different great giveaways this week at iLashGirls! The Fun, Fun & More Fun Giveaway has two great summer items. I think I want the sidewalk chalk for myself and the beach bag is so cute!!
And if you have ever thought about starting a blog Sherra and I are offering a giveaway for some Fun and Free Blog Startup Help. We have had so much fun learning to blog we want to help others and share what we have learned!
This past weekend was Rose Festival weekend here in Portland, Oregon. Portland has the second largest floral parade in the country.
There is a reason why the Rose Festival is held the first part of June – our roses are crazy beautiful right now!
I thought I would show you the Rose Festival that is going on in my own backyard. Enjoy!
This is what I see from my office window.
With the few weeks of sun we had the roses are going crazy!
And look what’s happening along my fence.
Eden is one of my favorite roses – it blooms just like this all summer!
And then on the pergola.
It’s hard to get any work done with this amazing distraction outside my office window!
We have a total of 37 rose bushes in our backyard according to my husband who gets to prune them every President’s Day!
What’s blooming in your garden right now?

Lots of roses and day lilies, mostly.
We have 17 rose bushes that are going crazy as well. Beautiful! The collection keeps growing every year. Ran out of ground space so now they are in pots on the sunny patio.
I love that you get so much rain that the roses go nuts there. They are just beautiful.
Your beautiful roses took my breath away. They are so beautiful. I wish I can plant roses like that.
Weeds are in full bloom here.
And cactus. Actually the cactus are really pretty when they bloom.

I LOVE your flowers!
I so need to take some pictures of my rose garden… I missed the magnolia tree in bloom this year… My roses actually held up pretty well in the wind storm so I still have a chance to get some good shots before the season is over…
The roses are beautiful! I have never had any luck with roses. They always come down with black spot and die.
In the Northeast our lilacs have just finished, but I’ve got some beautiful daisies! My bachelor buttons are coming to their first end, and since it rained this week, our peonies are beginning to fall over and fall apart.
My pink coneflowers are about 2-3 weeks away from blooming. They are my favorite all summer long. I don’t have to do anything to them. They just scream for the butterflies to come and visit them!
I am so jealous! Your yard is so beautiful!! I would sneeze my head off, though!
Here we did have tons of wildflowers, which are really pretty . . . but now it’s in the mid to upper 90s and very humid, so everything is dying off really fast!
At least we won’t have to mow much longer if this keeps up!
I love your garden!!!! I am so jealous I would love to get my little girl in a garden like that and go camera crazy
THank you for sharing the pictures with us.
