The rain continues but I have decided to not let it dampen my gardening spirit. Out I went this afternoon into the wet tall grass to see what my spring garden is looking like. The rain seems to go on and on and I am afraid I am missing all of the colors that are so beautiful this [...]
R is for Rain! And plenty of it! It’s been a long time coming,but we are finally getting our blooms of spring. Too bad it keeps raining though. It makes it hard to get out and enjoy it all. I ran out between the showers today and snapped a few photos of the lush green and [...]
This is a photo in the park across the street from my house. This was the volley ball court but we got so much rain it’s more like a lake now. ~”The best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain.” ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow The ultimate hose nozzle is available [...]
For fertilizer friday I have nothing to share since it hasn’t stopped raining long enough to get any photos, I am not one to let a rainy day slip by without enjoying it for a while but I have to say….. too much of a good thing isn’t always a good thing. When we arrived home tonight [...]
Last week we had several rainy days that were really needed. The temperatures have been cooler and it was beginning to feel fall like way toooooo soon for me.

Fall is upon us on this first friday in October although there are still plenty of blooms weathering the weather that has turned drastically cold. Today it was 40 degrees in the AM. Yuck! Too soon if you ask me. Kind of gloomy, damp and windy also. Have I painted a picture for you yet? [...]
Although we have had so much rain that I have hardly had to water so far this year, I am anxious to do my part in conserving our precious resource while preventing excess water runoff into our water supplies. Not to mention my water bill arrived this month and it is outrageous. Also I [...]
Today is Friday already! The weeks really go by fast in the summer. We have actually had two or three days without rain this week. That is really good. I don’t mind the rain as much as the gloomy skies that go along with it. But hopefully that trend is behind us for a while. [...]
