Roses upon roses upon roses... This is the aptly named "Colour Cocktail" rose. Slightly fragrance. Blooms change color. It always makes me smile. 🌱🌹 #roses

These Ashley/Derek scenes today are the first time I actually care about them. It's... surprisingly intense and emotional. #BeyondTheGates #Soapsky

I will be donating this to my presidential library. 🌱

It's the weekend and I am back with my latest #BeyondTheGates commentary. This week it's called Bill and Ted's Sexcellent Adventure and, boy, was there a LOT to talk about. Give it a read here ➡️ #Soapsky danjkroll.com/blog/editori...

"Coral Sunset" peony by moonlight. 🌱

It's time to celebrate: #BeyondTheGates has been picked up for a second season. I've got the details and some thoughts here: danjkroll.com/blog/enterta... #Soapsky

Congratulations to CBS. It has been the most-watched daytime network for an impressive 39 consecutive seasons. (Now let's announce that renewal for #BeyondTheGates) #YR #BoldandBeautiful #Soapsky

It's peony season at Kroll Manor. The first is "Morning Lilac" and the second is "Sorbet" (Allegedly. I think the folks who mow the lawn moved the sign.) 🌱 #KrollManor

On this Mother's Day, check out my #BeyondTheGates commentary where I, um, "celebrate" Leslie/Sherry/Dana (aka LSD). She is definitely a mutha -- sorry, Eva. Seriously, though, I talk about the juicy anniversary party aftermath. #Soapsky #BTG danjkroll.com/blog/editori...

I'm back with my weekly #BeyondTheGates commentary. This week it's called "DEFCON Dana" for obvious reasons. I have big praise for Ambyr Michelle, Trisha Mann's LSD, renamed Daphnée Don’t Play, and did some scolding. Please give it a read #BTG #Soapsky danjkroll.com/blog/editori...

This is the "Strawberry Hill" rose, an English climber from David Austin. It's part of a new rose garden I planted last year so this is the first bloom ever. It's 😍. Photo taken in Allentown, PA. #KrollManor 🌱 #Roses

The Eva/LSD scenes were everything I wanted them to be and more. Trisha Mann-Grant and Ambyr Michelle were electrifying! Definitely the scenes of the year for me. #BeyondTheGates #Soapsky

This is the "Morden Blush" rose. I originally found this on a marked down/clearance rack. It's a Canadian variety, can tolerate the cold, but sadly has no maple syrup fragrance. It is a pretty prolific bloomer. The photo was taken in my garden in Allentown, PA. 🌱 #rose #roses #flowers #KrollManor

This is the "Thérèse Bugnet" rose. It has been a really strong performer for me. You can see there are oodles of buds in the background. This photo was taken at my home in Allentown, PA. It is one of more than 250 different roses that I am currently growing. #krollmanor 🌱

It's been 8 years since the iconic moment Tom Holland lip-synced "Umbrella" by Rihanna for Zendaya. 🎥

As it should be...

The "Peach Lemonade" rose. It's not particularly fragrant, but its blooms change from yellow to a peachy pink, hence the name. It is low maintenance and a strong performer. Photo was taken at my home in Allentown, PA. #KrollManor 🌱🌹

The "April Rose" camellia has bloomed, but this past winter was really rough on it. I need to find out if there are ways to nurse it back to health. This was taken at my home in Allentown, PA USA. #KrollManor 🌱

BEYOND THE GATES: As promised, I have posted my new #BeyondTheGates commentary. I called it "Gatecrashers" and it's all about that juicy and soapy anniversary part debacle. Please give it a read and share your #BTG thoughts with me. #Soapsky danjkroll.com/blog/editori...

The "Capistrano" rhododendron has bloomed. I love its soft, buttery yellow color. I was worried it wouldn't make it because our winter was much colder than normal this year. This was taken at my home in Allentown, PA USA. #KrollManor 🌱

The "Gladiator" allium plants have started to bloom. So simple, yet so beautiful. This was taken at my home in Allentown, PA USA. #KrollManor 🌱

It is officially iris season here are Kroll Manor. This is the "Clarence," and it bloomed almost a month earlier than it did last year. It's one of my favorites. 🌱😍 #KrollManor

First rose of the year is on its way. It's a "Darcey Bussell," for those of you playing the home game. #KrollManor 🌹 🌱

I have never named a piece of furniture. #BeyondTheGates #BTG #Soapsky

Taking a moment to wish a happy birthday to someone who I have grown to love and think of as family -- even though we've never met in the 25+ years that we've known each other. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, @lizmasterssc.bsky.social

Wrap up your weekend with the Articulettes, ChelseaKat, a relationship quiz, and an Ass Tax -- it's my new #BeyondTheGates commentary! #BTG #Soapsky bit.ly/431vE6V

I just love @danjkroll.bsky.social commentaries. He is hilarious and always right on the mark. Beware of the Ass Tax! 🤣🤣 #BeyondTheGates #SoapSky

COMMENTARY: I've just posted this week's #BeyondTheGates commentary. I talk about Anita's sizzling performance at the club, my girl LSD's spiraling, Dani's new gig, and, of course, the Ass Tax. Give it a read and let's talk all about #BTG #Soapsky bit.ly/431vE6V

It's time for the top song this week in '89. Here are your clues: Pepsi and Black Jesus. #80sCountdown (1989) #80sMusic

1989 was such a great year for music, in my opinion. In the runner-up spot is a song that I don't think sounds like any other song. #80sCountdown (1989) #80smusic

Still one of my favorite debut songs by an artist/group (that wasn't really a debut single) #80sCountdown (1989) #80sMusic
