It helps shorten these long winter days when there isn’t much to do gardening wise except plan and dream and remember how pretty your garden was last summer. But before you know it, spring will arrive and those houseplants will become wall flowers that we barely notice… …until next winter . ~”He who [...]
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 [...]
Driving home the other day I just happened to notice these 4 beauties lazing about near a small creek just below the busy road we were on. They watched me take their photos but none of them ran away. They must have been comfortable, or maybe they were feeling safe from hunters so close to [...]
I bought my pointsettias today. They really Christmas up the house. I did a bit of reading and I found out about the history of this festive holiday plant. Legend has it that a small girl named Pepita and her brother Pedro were on their way to present gifts for their Chapel’s Christmas Eve service. Pepita had [...]
I am planting bulbs to prepare for the flower fix I will need by January. So to enjoy some springtime in the winter, forcing bulbs can be a lot of fun. It is even a great project for kids because it is so simple to do. Pick out some paper white narcissus, they are the easiest [...]

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 [...]
