    I'm so looking forward to Vienna's summer roses. I've missed my visits with you while I've been away. Now that I am back, I am ready to go again. Nice to know I can take a vacation at anytime by just clicking on to this beautiful site!

    And Spring arose on the garden fair,
    Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
    And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
    rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.
    ~Percy Bysshe Shelley, "The Sensitive Plant"

    What a beautiful garden you share with us today!

    I feel so stupid:
    I answered each and every comment of yours, and then I closed the window by accident. :-(

    May I simply say thank you to each of you? Your comments mean a lot to me.
