Strolling Around the Garden

Posted on March 12, 2019 | 19 comments

I just got home from work for the day and had an idea. (It happens.)

I have been enjoying lots of blogger posts brimming with excitement as their gardens come to life with crocus, snowdrops and daffodils.

So…why not share a little stroll around my garden?

Enjoy!

March, when days are getting long, Let thy growing hours be strong to set right some wintry wrong. –Caroline May

My father was often impatient during March, waiting for winter to end, the cold to ease, the sun to reappear. March was an unpredictable month, when it was never clear what might happen. Warm days raised hopes until ice and grey skies shut over the town again. –Tracy Chevalier

Fabric Boxes and the Garden (Done for the Winter)

Posted on October 31, 2018 | 7 comments

I wanted something to do just for the fun of it. Something easy; something that doesn’t require a lot of concentration.

So I made these.

The cute little boxes will make nice gifts, once I decide what to fill them with.

I was going to share some wonderful photos of the last of my blooming garden flowers…purple asters.

But there was some shenanigans going on, and I never got to take those photos.

One day I have blossoms, and the next day, they are somebody’s salad.

Sheesh!

Nevertheless, I can share a photo of some fabulous fall color.

And a close-up…just because it is so pretty.
