The roses are looking great....

The climbing roses on the right haven't kicked in yet, but they will. Tina has left the grass around the base of the roses there for now to hold in the moisture, she'll address that in the next few weeks, and put in a ground cover the nursery has ordered for her. Looking good though.

The old black steel ramp has been replaced by the new aluminum ramp. Longer, shallower angle, better rails.
We are working on a project on the covered rear patio and moved the nicer ramp to the front.

Other landscaping around the farm is starting to pop, pictures when it's glowing.

Looking good Marine! Spring has definitely sprung around here. Problem is that we cannot plant any annuals or even tender perennials yet due to cold overnight temperatures. It's frustrating because we've had a lot of daytime temps in the mid to upper 70's.

Great job BOM, I figured out it was spring here when our Priest wasn’t wearing socks in his sandals 😜

Don't know why these pictures are so much more brilliant on my phone. That's where I sent them from. Don't look as pretty here. 🤷

Stunning. What a beautiful bloom. The photo may not do it justice, Mark, but if that's so, OMG! What a sight in must be.

Thank you guys. It is beautiful which is surprising because we are in a serious drought. I guess they must be pretty Hardy. This year is the prettiest I've ever seen it.
