I didn’t get out of the car to take this picture; I had mowed and was tired and only driving out did I remember I wanted a photo. So I hit the automatic window button and picked up the pretty much automatic camera and grabbed a couple of shots. The light was from the west and my driver’s seat was on the east side of the car, so this is what I got.

These roses came from New York State over a hundred years ago – 120 t0 150 years ago – and they bloom at first a deep rose which fades to pink and then to white. Unlike newer, designer roses, they are very fragrant.

You can see the taller grass beneath them because I was on a rider mower; some 50 years ago, I used a walk behind mower and got everything neatly trimmed. Maybe, just maybe, if I did that again, I would be trimmer also.

Some of the grandchildren of Byron and Nellie Grismore are going to get together in Covington, Indiana at The Beef House this coming week at about one in the afternoon. I thought I’d look up the website and you can see it too if you click on BEEF HOUSE. The first thing I noticed was that it has been voted the best steakhouse in Indiana, although here at The Leaning Cow, we don’t know who voted and if we want anyone to vote and, actually, if we want anyone EATING beef. But, aside from that, AmeliaJake sat down and munched a foldover and perused the luncheon menu.

And she came to this; read it carefully.

BEEF HOUSE Hamburger – 6 oz. Choice Ground Chuck Processed in our Meet Room

BEEF HOUSE Cheeseburger

Did you see it? The “Meet” Room? Is that where Chuck meets . . . well, I don’t know if I want to think about it. And the Cheeseburger? Now, is that when Chuck comes out of the Meet Room and puts on his cheese hat? I mean, it does not appear that Mr. Cheeseburger is in the Meet Room at any time. Maybe it is Colonel Mustard who goes in the Meet Room and looks for culinary secrets . . .  nah, he’s too yellow for that.
