The Days of Grapes and Roses

Quite a few grapes this year, considering we do nothing to help them out. The deer usually eat them but for some reason, not this year. Hot weather may have made an earlier crop so deer missed them.
I have started taking them off stems and freezing for later use. The grapes are concord, tart, but make good juice to use in my fig bread recipe. I'm getting hungry.

 I noticed the roses as I was putting the grapes in the freezer so took a photo through the sliding door. Talk about lazy. This rose is practically in the woods. The flowers bloom all Summer and Fall and unlike other roses, the deer leave them alone. this may be do to the height of the bushes.
