Gardening with Soule

To spite the chilly wind, rain, sleet and snow, my friend and I went to a flower market called Frog Pond in Bainbridge NY. Â
 Inside the green houses it was warm and toasty.Â
The sound of the rain and sleet pounding on the roof did not deter our enjoyment of the flowers and plants at all.Â
 In fact I hardly noticed ~ [...]

   For Camera Critters I thought I would show critters from the show.  The theme was “Around the World.”  This was part of India’s display which also makes it fit the subject “Foriegn” for Photohunter.  Amazing what creativity people have.  All of the exhibitions were beautiful scenery to gaze at.  Just gorgeous.Â

 There isn’t much scenery around here that isn’t snow covered.Â
These waves looked more like they should be slapping against the beach instead of drifted in front of my garage. Â
I sent my son and his best friend out to clear the 3 foot drifts so  I could eventually get my car out of the garage.  After [...]

 There isn’t alot of flaunting of flowers here in upstate NY today.  There is however, snow,  and plenty of it.Â
Yesterday while it was snowing I did some snow blowing until that died, then I shoveled a lot, then I laid down and made a snow angel….just because  it’s fun. Â
Who am I kidding?  I laid down  because I was a [...]

of spring and summer,
warm weather and crystal clear days,
the scent of flowers in the air.Â
It will arrive…
…eventually.
I hope.

is also my garden of thoughts and dreams.  The thoughts grow as freely
as the flowers, and the dreams are as beautiful.

Looking out my window this morning I was amazed by the scenery.  It was as if beautiful landscaping was done in my yard, all in white.

  Turns out Jack, Jack Frost that is, was doing his handiwork on my window.  His intricate art is to be held in awe.  Each sprig of frost looks as if it [...]

My scenic sunday post is about a shop called Sea Hag.  It is in an old barn on a very scenic road near a lake.Â
 Although it’s out there a ways, people come from all around to visit and shop. Â
The owner Colleen, sells beautiful artwork, antiques, furniture and her own brand of soap which is now available [...]

 My son has seen the movie Avatar five times.Â
  I have seen it twice.  Once just to see it, on New Year’s Eve with my husband and then last night my aforementioned son talked me into a late movie.  Since he is 18 and way too busy to hit the movies with his mom on a regular [...]

We took a drive in the 17 degree weather to enjoy the bright sunshine and crisp day.  Luckily we were warmly in our heated car as we took in the views.Â
   Along the Susquehanna River were these crows on Sumac trees.  It almost looked like a blackbird tree with many of them waiting to be picked.
 Normally I [...]

The scenery was white and lots of it. It was a scene to behold, the happiness of a dog in the garden, able to run and jump without anyone telling him to step away from the flowers! 

  Looks like Fred (the grandbull) was catching snowflakes on his tongue
~ maybe he was!
