It is Mid-May and roses are in full-bloom! Between the Raleigh Rose Garden, The JC Raulston Arboretum rose garden, and the smaller city parks in Raleigh you can always them in bloom. Although, I still think they should not be included in any landscape because of rose rosette virus.
Summer festival season is beginning! Artsplosure is a favorite! http://artsplosure.org
Sunday we traveled to Durham and visited the Sarah P Duke Gardens on Duke University West Campus. It is beautiful with its division into zones and all the streams they created which flow through each garden. http://gardens.duke.edu/visit/duke-gardens-map
The Historic Terraces & Fish Pool
The Blomquist Garden of native plants
The Roney Fountain
The Mary Duke Biddle Rose Garden
And in my garden the amaryllis are still going strong.
And the squirrels are digging everywhere.
Gus’s chemo treatments are going well. He has had three treatments and latest radiographs revealed little growth in the lung adenocarcinoma and no new tumors. His weight has stabilized, although, he still appears thin as he was 85 pounds and now weights around 60 pounds. So I will continue with them and the NSAIDs.
He had a new friend I named Roscoe. I thought it was a rat but now realize it is an opossum!
