I didn't have my camera ready but I will be back next weekend for the peak bloom of the DA roses. They are looking good now that the deer fence has gone up. I wore my striped bustle dress for Easter and my friend took a picture with his cell phone. I always wanted to be in a Monet style garden photo. One day hopefully I'll see his garden. Last year only Lady Banks was blooming but this year, everything is just about at peak spring bloom with only the DAs still to go. And Lady Banks was still blooming....she's a wonder!

Kitty, the parasol is perfect. What a fun thing to do for Easter. Did you receive lots of smiles? Can't wait to see your Austin pictures.

RE: Easter at Descanso

It became a tradition for us to dress Victorian at Easter and we both love Descanso. My folks took our family there ever since we were kids. I like doing it because I love wearing the clothes and the kids there love to take pictures with us. The little girls love the long dresses, hats and parasols. They added the brunch in the rose garden a few years ago and now its Sat and Sun and also on Mothers Day. I wanted to wear this last time but it rained so I was worried about mud on that white skirt. This dress is very lightweight and fun. I change it up with a rose colored skirt. Sometimes I ask myself why I'm drawn to these clothes with all the work involved but then its the same way with roses. The beauty of it is the reward.
