Roses

The roses that I had planted this spring were not too happy. The spot that I picked for them is perfect but with the 100+ heat that we have been having here in Virginia, they were slowly looking pretty sad.

As you can see, the roses were NOT happy.

Superdad and I headed to one of our favorite stores (Home Depot) and picked up a few supplies.

The first thing that I did , was to lay the pavers around the flowers so I could see exactly what I was doing. I then left it that way for a few days. This was partially because I got busy. It did end up helping in the end, though because when I pulled them away, it left a perfect mark of where the pavers had been. This gave me a good idea of where to dig the grass up at.

Once that was done, it was just a matter of digging out the grass. I did not take pictures of this part because I was a bit sweaty. But, I think that the results turned out really nice. The roses already thanked me too.
