    Growing Roses

    ByMary Crozier March 7, 2022March 7, 2022

    Who doesn’t love roses? Personally, I envy those who are knowledgeable about growing roses, and extra envious of those who know the names of all the different roses. Can roses grow in Phoenix? Fortunately, even in our withering heat, many varieties can thrive here. The key is knowing where to plant, when to plant, and…

    How to Dry Roses

    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier February 26, 2022February 26, 2022

    As I write this, we are stuck in Dallas due to the weather and ice storms. Our flights have been cancelled and we are not sure when the airport will open again. Also, why aren’t the airlines subject to price gouging during times like these? A one way flight from Dallas to Phoenix for $4,425.00?…
