Dog Weeding the Garden?

This is my friend’s dog Riley.  She was bored so she thought she would do a bit of weeding.  Too bad we can’t really get them to help out a bit.  “You think dogs will not be in heaven? I tell you, they will be there long before any of us.” – Robert Louis Stevenson

Why do people garden?

 Gardening is something that just about anyone can do.  Children to older folks can participate and there is no right or wrong way to do it, just easier and harder. It gives us something in common with people we meet. It connects us with those that made us aware of the pleasure it can bring.  It is [...]

Forcing Paperwhite Bulbs

Fertilizer Friday 11/13

I brought my mandevilla in from the cold and it is doing great!  In fact, these are all plants that I had outside for the summertime.     This guy was in my son’s room, needless to say [...]

Vintage Thingies Thursday 11/5

My Vintage Thingie is something I bought at a flea market probably 20 years ago.  At the time, I fell in love with it because it was so unique and different from anything I had ever seen as far as pottery.   I paid somewhere around $25 dollars for it and that was a splurge for [...]

Macro Monday 11/2

Since it is dreary and gray outside today, I decided to look through my photos to see what I might have for Micro Monday.  Turns out I have plenty.  So I thought I would share a few of them which evoke memories of hot sunny cheerful days.  I already miss them and summer is so very [...]
