Sorry for more rose photos but it is all I have. I waited all day yesterday for the roofers. By 6:00 pm, I gave up and called them. They said their truck broke down. I said, BULLSHIT!!!
I mean really, no one had a cell phone? And, your truck broke down for 11 hours? I hate being lied to.
I checked the weather again this morning. (above...cuke blossom alert!)
There are two major storms which could hit us. (above...zucchini blossom sighting!)
Depending on how these storms play out, we could get lots and lots of rain.
Flat roofs are not good at their best.
A flat roof covered by a tarp would keep me awake at night worrying. I live at the very top of a mountain and we get very high winds.
So, the roof project is on hold until we see a forecast clear of rain. (this is a view of the guest house coming down the stairs from above.)
We have had barely a drop of rain this entire Spring.
Murphy's Law!
In retrospect, thank god for incompetent workmen or I would be roofless right now with lots of rain possible. Sometimes things work out for the best.
A harvest of garden lettuce! It makes me very happy.

I don't know what it is with contractors any more.
We had frost last night and I hope it was the last for this season. Nothing got damaged though but I hope it did kill a few flies :-) :-) :-)
Have a great day!
Christer.
Yikes to the big storms and rains coming and all of it. -sigh-
I can imagine how you hate the thoughts of a big project like this. the project itself. And having workmen crawling all over your house. -sigh-
COURAGE!!!
Guess what Joyce, I found those Seville crackers right here at our tiny little local market. Orange ones too, I just couldn't believe my eyes. Very uptown for us.
Hope you get rain, then the roof!

Beautiful photos, Jaz!!!
the little lettuces are cute.
the county where we are has tropical storm warnings. we are near the coast.
we will just load up and go early to Jacksonville, Florida.
Yep..they fed you a line, those workers!
You know..I hate something like that hanging over my head..but think I would rather be hung by my heels than go through that "rippin' off" part of the roof job. It's horrible..and messy. I wish it was all over for you...
It's like waiting for major surgery to take place..and they tell you they won't know the whole story until they open you up.
I could have gone all day and not said that!! :( Sorry!
It will all be over one day soon and you will look back and laugh! (NOT!)
Your lettuce looks wonderful - ours got eaten by varmints, no doubt rabbits and pukekos while I slept!
Love Leanne
