January in E Nicolaus

Everything looks so different in the winter at Justin's house.  Only a few leaves left on the walnut trees.

Good-neighbor Justin dog-sat for Jaime & Lety.

The white hedge roses did quite well, but the red ones in between didn't keep up with the expected pace of growth ... so out they came, and were replaced today with a different variety.

A few flowers and many rose hips remain.  If I was going to stay any longer, I'd try making rose hip jelly.

Today, Justin had to turn on the water for the walnut trees.  It hasn't rained for 7 weeks (except for 1/10th inch which doesn't count for anything, Justin said).
