The red roses in my front yard

Yesterday afternoon I took some pics of the very old rose bush in my front yard. It has been there for at least 40 years. Probably more than that.  This is the house in which I grew up and as a boy I remember at last 3-4 roses bushes in the small front yard.  This is the last one left.

I finally took some new pics of an 1800's porcelain handled plate I got from a guy selling from the sidewalk in front of his house.  I think it is a rare piece.

I didn't go to the grounds keeping job.  I could have. Oops.  It is starting to clear up and hasn't rained much since about 10-11. I think he will be upset.  Oh well.
