The View From Where I Sit

Yesterday evening, my view from the corner of the sofa in the family room was a fine one.  In front of me, on the ottoman, is Maggie ... in her usual Mom's-working-on-her-laptop spot next to my feet.  She wants to be in my lap, but the computer is there.  The rose books I have been reading are close by, in a stack on the ottoman's tray.

Glancing to my left, I see Ruby ... oh so sacked out in the chair beside me.  She fits so well into our family, and I feel blessed that she found us.

This morning, the sky is cloudy and rain is on its way ... making it a perfect morning to get some planting done ... so I'm off to change into work clothes and we'll see how many roses I can get into the ground.
