A good year for the roses....

Some of you might remember my frustrations in early summer...when all my roses got nibbed in the bud, so to speak? Well I was SO pleased to see, that a second bloom was on its way, and just yesterday, I checked them out, thinking, yeah, one more show before the autumn......Then this morning I looked out the window, and

 NO No no .........Not again! Not only is she back, chewing away, she brought her baby!

 Or should I say todler?                 "Hey Kid! What are you doing?"

    "She´s got roses here too mum!"

   "OkayKiddo, we are done here, are you full?"

 "Well let me just check these out...no to high...!"

"Been there, there, did I miss any buds.....Nah, All done"

          "Are we going now?"

      "Yep, now kid, say thank you to the nice lady!"

     "Thanks, we will be back!"

And this is a photo of The one that got away! From the first raid! No survivers this time......
