  • I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down

    Well, maybe not my house, but the wind was really blowing here Saturday and Sunday, and this is what's left of the rose bush that I showed you on Friday's blog. It must have happened sometime Sunday afternoon, because t…

  • Look what was waiting to greet me in the back yard this morning. It's Jessie's Song . . . a lovely iris. The irises that we moved from Alice's yard to mine hardly knew that they had been moved because we did it so quick…

  • I wasn't really keen on having rose bushes in my landscaping plan, but this is one that the landscape guy who my builder provided recommended. You see, I've never been really GOOD with roses and I didn't want to have t…

  • I now have a respectable showing of lovely pink tulips out in the front flower bed. It took them long enough, but they were worth the wait.

  • Would you believe it's a geranium? I never knew that geraniums came in so many different colors. I thought they only came in the basic red. Go figure. Our Garden Club went to a local nursery today . . . Whispering Spri…

  • As you can see, the tulips are actually starting to emerge. Maybe by the end of tomorrow there will a lot more to look at. I'm also glad that I planted several different kinds of daffodils, because they bloom at differ…

  • Here's a photo of my latest project . . as promised. Gotta run now, though. I just have time to take a shower, change clothes and go to a friend's house for dinner and cards.

  • Alice and I did have a project today, but I don't have any pictures to show you . . . yet. Around 1:30 we headed out for Home Depot where I got top soil and humus to amend the soil in the North hosta flower bed and the l…

  • This is the sunrise this morning as seen from my patio. I'm not usually up and outside this early and when I saw the sunrise I had to run into the house to get my camera. I've finally finished the North sidewalk. I add…

  • Alice pointed out to me today, while we were working on the flower beds out behind my back fence, that my gaura was starting to bloom. I have three gaura plants and I like them. They are supposed to attract butterflies.…
