At the time, our children were grown and there were no grandchildren. We came to the cabin 5-6 times each year. But since Laurel was born, followed by Robert and then Alastair, we can’t bear to be away from them that often. So the maintenance of the roses, daylilies and rhododendron were left to Mother Nature. But she tended them well and they have thrived.
The rhododendrons–some 6′ tall!– behind the rose bush were transplanted from 1 gallon cans just 8 years ago. The Flower Carpet rose was planted at the same time and has struggled through dry summers and winters that left it burdened with several feet of snow But now, like my stash, they all have grown. Pretty weak segue, I know, but I had to share the picture.~*~*~*~*
Such a tiny, delicate edging, perfect for babies and dolls.  The holes just below the header look like entredeux but without the bulk. See edging on Laurel’s 1st Birthday Dress and on the doll bedding.Â
