Summer's first roses for Canada Day!

Happy Canada Day Everyone!!

Today is our country's birthday! A long weekend hopefully for most of you.
I am working today but have the rest of the weekend off. We plan on having a barbecue
with friends to celebrate this special holiday!

My pink climbing roses are in bloom now...

I love these roses as they keep blooming all summer long. They smell heavenly too!




Just in time for summer a sweet new dress...


Oh i can never resist a pretty dress. Especially with ruffles in a lovely champagne colour!


Too bad i can't wear it to work! But i don't think it would look right with a black


apron over it...


It will be perfect though for my summer birthday.



Wishing all my fellow Canadians a wonderful and fun Canada Day!!


Canada eh?

  2. Pamela, your roses are so pretty and such a soft colour. I love your new dress! Wow. I have never worn something so lovely. I'm such a jeans and t shirt gal and never feel comfortable in something so pretty and ruffly. Is your birthday soon? Mine is on the 22nd. I hope you have a happy Canada Day weekend. Blessings, Pamela

  11. Oh my gosh Pamela, your roses are stunning! I've NEVER had a rose bush that large before. I guess I should just be thankful my small container roses are still making it through this heat!
    When is your birthday? That dress is beautiful and will look lovely for a birthday celebration!
    Happy Canada Day to you and yours!

  16. You have the best taste in clothing. I need to learn a thing or two from you - I spend most of my time in jeans and a t-shirt. Your roses are beautiful. Hope you had a good holiday!

  17. Well, I think that dress would be quite fetching with a black apron over it...especially with a pair of knee socks embroidered (of course) with the Canandian Maple Leaf! Maybe you would get fired and stay home and collect unemployment...or..what do they call it there...hmmm..The dole...yes..you could stay home and be on the dole! Just a Happy Cananda Day thought- love ya PammieCakes! (let's see if anyone else dares call you that) xo Diana

  21. Hope you enjoyed Canada's birthday yesterday - beautiful country, lovely people, Canada is one of my favorites to visit, always have a fabulous time whether East or West!

    Your roses are so pretty Pamela and I know you are anxious to wear such a lovely dress.............enjoy your time off, sounds like you've chosen a busy job, just don't overdo things!

    Hugs - Mary
    (who's thankful those long, hard work days are history - but the downside to that is I now realize I'm getting old!)
