A stroll through the rose garden

April 22, 2013 filed under: weekend

We had beautiful weather this weekend and Saturday was a perfect day for a walk through the McKinley Park Rose Garden. It was gorgeous to see all the rose bushes in full bloom with their huge blossoms and their amazing range of shapes, sizes and colors. Aren’t they just beautiful?

    Our nearby rose garden isn’t even budding yet, much less in full bloom. Enjoy your earlier spring!! Color me jelly.

    Such pretty flowers!!! I also got a mani/pedi this weekend, it was about time too! My feet definitely appreciated the pampering after many months of neglect and socks and boots.

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen the rose garden at McKinley Park, just the one in Capitol park. I’ll have to check it out!

    This weekend I relaxed with my husband, had brunch with a friend, and hosted a family game night. Good times!

    Wow! Those pictures are beautiful! I love all the different roses. Yea for having a weekend of beautiful weather! My weekend was ok. I studied a lot and then went to a co-worker’s wedding, which was fun. I honestly don’t think I will be able to say I had a great weekend until the CFA is over, but in 5+ weeks, it will be! :)

    So pretty! Andrew and I visited a rose garden in Alabama last year and it was pretty neat. Mostly I just love flowers and am constantly impressed with the variety of colors.
