“The RoseBouquet”

I am getting some work done these days. I’ve been cancelling my surfing programs, and setting up to start selling stuff on eBay. I try to work in an hour at renovating the Ruthes-SecretRoses.com site every day, Mon-Friday, and also at developing the intimacy sub-domain with lots of pages related to the themes in my novel. I got excited yesterday at the potential there!

My new template now covers the pages in the first level, and in the rsr/ directory. This week I started on the A/ directory, but I’ll wait until I have a few done before I upload those. That’s where you find my Author’s Arbour and Patio, with links to pages full of personal and family photos. I also have pages on mentoring and some with advice for would-be writers.

One thing I’ve started to do is fill the blank spaces in the side columns with photos of roses and garden scenes. I know I can’t help myself to just any pretty picture on the web. (At least, I don’t stoop to that). I can freely use my own photos, but I’m on the lookout now for someone with a good rose garden, so I can take my own shots.

If someone offers me the gift of a photo or two, I’ll be happy to accept!

I’ve been practising the sketching of garden gates, but haven’t got enough of what I call ‘good’ ones yet. How does your garden gate look? Or don’t you have one?
