Country outing

The roses are in full bloom in the Greenwood garden of Mike and Mary Wark, who pose beside a bush filled with blossoms.

On a quiet Good Friday, they asked husband Paul L. Schuetze and me to stop by for dinner and see their roses in full bloom.

(And enjoy an always delicious supper by Mary. We supplied the Fairfield Grocery chicken salad, but she made a green salad and put out her home-made pickles, hors d’eouvres and apple cobbler. Paul and I were in heaven.)

For those of you who saw the garden when it was on Northwest Louisiana Master Gardeners Le Tour des Jardins a few years back, it is enduring and endearing.

One recent addition: a water element that centers the path.
