And I'm very envious that you can grow lemons outside. My tree is inside but it never fails to amaze people when I mention harvesting lemons after a Canadian winter.

It's time for a reread. Not sure if you've read The Custom of the Country by Wharton.

I loved the rain here as well, and got so much done having a cozy weekend at home. Painting, cooking, reading, organizing. Edith Wharton is right up there with Jane Austen as one of my favorite authors. The Age of Innocence is my favorite of hers, but love House of Mirth as well.

I am torn about Outlander....Your roses are lovely! <br />I am torn about Outlander. It's certainly a gorgeous series to watch, but I was really turned off by the gratuitous violence. I don't think I can handle another season. I tried to read the first book in the series but didn't like it at all and gave up.Patience_Crabstickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860012969550268614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502245000248725118.post-17514364156835109092016-04-11T14:28:02.938-07:002016-04-11T14:28:02.938-07:00I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the photos...I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the photos of your garden and roses in this latest post - wow!

It is titled THE OBSTACLE RACE by Germaine Greer: it is about women artists and the obstacles they faced in their time to become an artist. Painting was not for ladies and Le Brun and others copied their brothers and fathers paintings to learn how to paint. Wonderful book for all art lovers.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502245000248725118.post-12615995341505160772016-04-11T11:16:06.984-07:002016-04-11T11:16:06.984-07:00Congratulations if you make it through that Hermio...Congratulations if you make it through that Hermione Lee biography.
