Pruning roses

One of the most enjoyable things I've been doing lately is dead-heading roses at the Dry Creek Ranch House.

Twice a month, usually in the late afternoon, I spend up to an hour in the warmer months (about 30 minutes this month and November will be the last month)

removing all the fading blossoms. It's a quiet and peaceful.
