We are still getting rain almost daily. I think it’s a little more rain that we are used to getting at this time of year. It’s no record rain fall but it’s putting a damper on my gardening attempts.

Our backyard garden has a few things planted. I think it’s enough for our first year as backyard gardeners but the flowers on the other hand are lovin’ all the rain.

Here is what I believe to be a rose bush of some sort that we didn’t realize was hidding in all the thorny bushes. As soon as we gave it some room to breath it produced a beautiful little flower blossom.

Of course I had to take a picture of it so I could look up what it is but haven’t found it just yet. I can see that it is hanging off our property fence which means that it might do well as a complete covering for a few sections of fence in our backyard.

Well the very next day, after taking the picture I got out of bed and headed to the kitchen for my morning coffee fix and as I looked out the windows I noticed our little rose-like bush had a few more blossoms. So I quickly went out before it started to rain again and snapped a picture.

I not only found that there were more blossoms today but I also noticed the bush wasn’t alone. It had a twin hiding just to the right, so I cleaned out a bit more of the thorny bushes which look nice and cover the fence but are a nightmare to deal with and quite dangerous if they grab you with their thorns.

I call them the thorny bushes of death because they will slice you open so quick and then they won’t let you go for bandages.
