Beautiful gardens Esther. The light pink roses look like heirloom roses as they’re so big and bountiful.
Thanks for the beautiful roses! Those bushes are so full! Wishing you and your family a lovely weekend. <3
You’re welcome! Thank you for stopping by to check out the roses. I’m glad you like them.
We had a great weekend and here we are starting a new week. Hope you have a good start to the new week!
These remind me so much of the rose garden where my husband and I were married!
What a lovely and romantic place to get married! Many people come here to take engagement photos, and right now it’s a lot of students taking pictures in their cap and gown.
It was! My dad married us, which made it even more special.
Love it! What a beautiful time and memory!!
It was!!
Wonder where is this, Esther?
Hi TD, sorry for the late reply. This is a rose garden in San Jose where roses of all colors and varieties are showcased. It’s a free garden where people come to have picnics and take pictures. Here’s the website: https://www.sanjoseca.gov/Home/Components/FacilityDirectory/FacilityDirectory/2295/2028?npage=9
We visit every year to see the flowers!
Hi Esther, the rose garden must smell wonderful! It’s very nice to have one so close to your home to visit every year. ❤️🌹
TD, I thought the rose garden would have a rosy smell too, but it doesn’t sadly. You have to put your nose right up to the flowers to smell its fragrance. But yes, we feel happy to make a yearly trip out there.
I hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend!
beautiful start to the weekend! May yours be restful and bonding.
Thank you! It was a good weekend, and the new week has already started. Last week of official homeschooling.
Ah! You’ve given yourself the summer off – excellent! Fun plans?
Hi Ju-Lyn! We just got back from L.A. and had a full itinerary. It was wonderful, fun, and tiring…all simultaneously.
We’re staying close to home this summer and just regular outings and doing life. That’s fun for us and catching up on doctor’s appointments.
Love the beautiful roses garden. The light pink roses look like heirloom roses. Excellent photography. Happier your weekend,my dear friend Esther 💞!
My daughter’s favorite color! Have a great weekend!
I had a great weekend, thanks, friend! I hope you had a good weekend too. I can’t believe it’s already over and we’re headed into another week. School is almost out for the charter school, but we will continue to homeschool throughout the summer. Do you have different homeschooling plans for the summer?
That lavender purple is so elegant and charming! Great choice in a favorite color.
I was wondering when your charter was out for the summer. I’m working on our summer learning plan… We had a great weekend, and celebrated my youngest turning the big 10-years-old at LEGOLAND!
Happy belated birthday!! It’s the big 2 digits. Hope you guys had a wonderful time celebrating at Legoland!!
Our charter gets out this Friday. It was a long and hectic year with lots of ups and downs, but we are almost there. Ellis and I are on a Little House on the Prairie kick, and Elliot got his own copies of the books too. lol. He’s more of a reluctant fan.
Beautiful, like you.
Thank you, Cindy!!
Ooo, how pretty! My grandpa loves growing roses; he has the white and red kind in his backyard.
Thank you! Roses are beautiful to grow, and it’s awesome if you know how to grow them. Your grandpa has great taste in roses!
Those are gorgeous!
Thank you so much! It’s that time of year when the roses are in full bloom, especially at this rose garden. During the winter, it’s all bare there, but now, it’s roses haven.
