Sunday in Iowa...


It's a little unusual to find roses untouched by frost by this time in November in Iowa.
These are blooming on the bandstand square in Oskaloosa, Iowa

    Oh, our snowy landscape looks so much different than that picture!

      We had a little snow this week...melted already. Why I don't live in Minnesota anymore!
      As we were backing out of a friends driveway in Mpls. one winter, my husband (a native Iowan) asked me if I missed Minnesota...I looked at the snowbanks higher than our car on either side of the driveway and didn't even have to think before saying "No!".

    Me; I don't miss the Iowa winters one little bit. I remember when my dad would clean out our long driveway (lived on a farm) and the banks where 10-12 feet high on each side. No thank you. In Texas we get more ice than snow and let me tell you; people just do not know how to drive when the roads are icy.

    I believe them are knock-out roses which can take some cold unless you have a really hard freeze but they are pretty hardy.

      Coleen...those freezing rains are one reason I don't live in Texas anymore! Of course my Iowa husband is the main reason.
