I thought I would stay with the holiday theme and show my one Thanksgiving vintage piece. It is a platter for turkey. I got it at a garage sale a long time ago. I use it every year with out fail. I would also like to take this Thanksgiving day and Thank all [...]
Couldn’t resist this shot. The sun caught the web just perfectly. It was a bit over my head but I was still able to capture it. I am amazed at how talented a simple spider is. The work was so intricate and perfect yet strong enough to stand the wind and weight of the spider. Kinda [...]
As promised, I will occasionally share certain products from Garden Shoes Online that I think are very noteworthy. I want to give some info about GardenGrips Clogs. These clogs are so comfortable, I want to wear them all the time. When I first saw them, I was attracted to their rugged look for sloppy weather. Plus, they are clogs [...]
This picture highlights autumn when leaves make their dramatic change with spectacular color before they die~ so this is my entry for “End of the Line” Gardening Gone Wild’s Picture This Photo Contest. Happy Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving, after all, is a word of action. ~W.J. Cameron
Combine lilacs (one of my favorites!) with some cute animals in a vintage print and you have my vintage thingie. I found this nicely framed Currier and Ives print “Two Little Fraid Cats” in the bottom of an old trunk that was given to me by a friend. It was in great shape except for a little cleaning [...]
Many of the joys of fall are obvious. Apples, pretty leaves, halloween, crisp air, they are endless. Standing in a river on a really cold morning is not my idea of one. To my husband, the greatest joy of the season aside from the colors of nature and the beauty to be enjoyed, is his time [...]
Couldn’t resist these two daredevils living on the edge. If all the beasts were gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the beasts also happens to the man. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth. ~Chief Seattle of the Suquamish [...]
Since I have virtually nothing to show from my outdoor garden, it’s back to the indoor plants to see what’s shaking. 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 [...]
This flower pot is one of my favorites! I just love it. My neighbor threw it away. Yes, you heard me right. She threw it away. So I quickly ran across the street and scooped it up. Her husband was into gardening. He had a greenhouse and many plants. After he died, she weeded through [...]
Ever heard of a Bird-scarer, a Moggy, a Bogeyman, a Shuft, maybe a Rook-scarer or a Kelson, Hodmedod or a Tattie bogle? How about Priapus? Let me enlighten you, Priapus was the son of Aphrodite in Greek mythology. Priapus was a protector of gardens and orchards, and is typically portrayed as a hideous looking man. Birds tended to avoid fields where Priapus [...]
