The weather has been dreary and cold for days with some rain and sunshine stuck in here and there. Not great gardening weather which means I have been very lazy about weeding and trimming. I hate shivering while I am gardening. To spite my neglect, things are still beginning to bloom so there are [...]
It’s hard to believe a year has gone by since the first time I posted this blog. I have met so many kind and encouraging people that share the same passion~Gardening. The year mark has made me look back and compare my garden to one year ago and even back to when we bought this house [...]
This past weekend, my friend Linda and I hit a neighborhood garage sale. About 90 families participated. It was great fun. We of course, same as last year, filled my Jeep with as much as it could hold. This time we even ended up with a dresser bungied to the top. The other dresser we [...]
My friend’s dog Riley has very good taste in flowers. Or maybe the flowers just taste good. She was almost as happy to get those lilacs as I was. ~Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole. ~Roger Caras Go on over to Camera Critters. There are a lot of really great [...]

While getting my pots ready for planting( if the weather ever permits me to do so)~ I came across one of my vintage crocks. It has cobalt flowers on it and it is imprinted with Binghamton, NY which is the name of our city. I have had this forever and I can’t even remember where I [...]
Today it snowed, sleeted, rained, gusted winds, and the sun even peeked out for a quick minute. A horrible mix of weather with cold temperatures and wind chills to boot. Needless to say I was not a very happy girl. An occasional rainy day is always welcomed but mostly I want sunshine and plenty of it. I spent [...]
