Since this is 2012 Valentines Day, I will
feature flowers.
First the Erika's Roses and Then Bob's Impatiens for the Sun July-August
These are some of Erika's prized roses by
our south side entry door where the flooring meets the railing
You can see more of Erika's domestic roses at
http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/tidbits/Roses/Domestic/Set01/DomesticRosesSet01.htm
This shows a rose rising above impatiens
blooms
This is how it looked in early June before
the plants reached their full height and fullness
We had an unusual number of humming birds in the Summer of 2011
We also have a clematis vines that
grow taller every year
My favorite outdoor annual is what Agway
calls "impatiens for the Sun."
I think they're also called New Guinea Impatiens
They grow very well in these mountains as long as you give them lots of water
This is how they looked in late July
This one shows Erika's climbing roses rising above Bob's impatiens
A rose among the impatiens
By August the Impatiens have grown higher up
In August our butterfly bush is in full bloom
Meanwhile in the rock garden on the north side of our cottage, the impatiens and
Lilies are growing together
But the perennial lilies only last a couple weeks while the impatiens live on
into October
In the next editions of Tidbits I will
show the impatiens season for September-October
In October they die and are then buried in a land fill
I close this Valentines Data photo set with some of my favorite pictures taken
from my desk facing the White Mountains
May you find lots of love on this Valentines Day

On May 14,
2006 I retired from
Trinity University after a long and
wonderful career as an accounting professor in four universities. I was
generously granted "Emeritus" status by the Trustees of Trinity University. My
wife and I now live in a cottage in the White Mountains of New Hampshire ---
