If a neighbor has a shovel, s/he has probably forgotten where s/he put it. That happens a lot here. I’m thinking it may be a good idea to invest in some gardening-type implements so I can do a bit of digging and transplanting. Besides...I’m thinking about roses...

And that pic looks like a Rose of Sharon. But I may be wrong....

And there are some patches of violets in various places on the lawn, and I think I can bring some of them here. There is a flower bed along my east wall, so it would be fun to put some blooming things there, even if I move out of here. I will ponder these things and decide soon.

Rose of Sharon is commonly a reference to a hibiscus..

We have two of those which Mrs. NoC planted.

Most of the old roses (before the breeders got busy) were single bloomtypes such as in the previous photo.

On the subject of shovels, one of those GI trenching tools works especially if you're not trying to spade a garden, and is collapsible..
