We have had nothing but rain lately but today we had a break in the clouds long enough to get out there and enjoy the blooms before it’s too late. Cold weather will be here too soon. Everything seemed fresh and new despite the fact that it’s now October. The bees were working hard and a [...]
Time to dust off the garden tools and think spring. This should include being prepared for the first nice spring day by knowing which shoes, boots or clogs you will slip on to greet the new year of gardening. Some folks may say they prefer an old pair of sneakers, flip flops or just plain old [...]
~The flowers of late winter and early spring occupy places in our hearts well out of proportion to their size. ~Gertrude S. Wister #90

They may not like them now, but one day when they think back on me, I am sure that these little guys will bring [...]
Could there be anything that exudes springtime more than bright yellow daffodils? Even on a gloomy day it feels like sunshine when they are around. These were a surprise from my sweetie yesterday. He knows I NEED some spring time. So these are my blooms this friday! I am off to the Philadelphia Flower show [...]
