Spring Roses in Full Bloom

Today's rain is certainly good for the lawns and gardens. This is the 11th day with measured rain this month, pushing our total May rainfall to close to four inches. Viewer Hilkka Schulz of Stamford wrote, "It is really pouring right now. Our street looks like a river. Wow. However, this weekend was just gorgeous, and roses are looking their best here in Connecticut. These are a few samples from my backyard. Have a wonderful week." They look great! Thanks, Hilkka!
