November Rose

I don't remember ever having cut roses in November but here they are. I thought it was going to be an early winter but the mild temps have allowed these to bloom. Hope you enjoy!

If you follow the above link, you will find an interesting article about the redevelopment of Youngstown. The city is slightly larger than Mansfield but faces many of the same problems. Let me know what you think.

A closer look

Here's a closer look at our gulls.

I Spy.... a flock of seagulls.

I took this picture in the parking lot of Appleseed Shopping Center yesterday.
I'm always surprised to see seagulls in Mansfield since we are an hour from Lake Erie but my Field Guide to North American Birds assures me that it's quite normal. Anyway, I enjoyed watching them and they didn't even move when I got a little close to take the pictures.
