All banged up

Day One of my three week rotation in the rose garden and I'm already all banged up. I took a beating training the climber today, but this was a very satisfying task when completed. I remember admiring the roses along this fence when they were just starting to bloom in mid-May. I would look up at them over the fence against the sky. Next year someone else will do the same and I will have played the tiniest part in making that vision happen.
