DIY Project ~ Mother’s Day Fairy Garden
Just in time for a Mother’s Day project, I found a cracked birdbath sitting in a neighbor’s curbside trash. I have been saving little bits of things to make some fairy gardens and this just plopped into my lap (actually the front passenger seat of my car). Although it looks more extensive, this

The Merry, Merry Month of May!
It is the beginning of May and spring is here to stay finally! No wonder it is called “The Merry, Merry Month of May”! Time for the annual pilgrimage to Groff’s Plant Farm with my buddy, Renee, and filling the car with all sorts of interesting new plants to add to our gardens.

DIY Project ~ Gather Flowers for a May Day Basket!
May Day Baskets were something we made of construction paper in elementary school back in the day, but I haven’t seen much about them for years. If I get a vote, we should bring this neighborly rite of spring back! Very simple and fun besides: just gather fresh blooms from your spring garden, insert

April 18th ~ What’s Blooming Today?
A quick evening stroll around the garden with camera in hand captures the new blooms of the day. Spring is truly here and each day reveals new flowers and emerging plants that have been dormant throughout the long winter. Longer days and warmer nights is the perfect combination to send them all bursting

Mid-April ~ Spring Blooms in the garden
Here we are in mid-April and spring is in full swing now! Flowering trees, shrubs, bulbs and the fresh green of new leaves are emerging. It has cooled back down into the 50’s and 60’s during the day with cool nights, which is a blessing. Those high temperatures shortened the bloom time of

Spring Is Here! Early Spring Blossoms
In just two weeks time, our garden has gone from snow flurries to eighty degrees! And, with the warmth comes the glory of spring. Everything is growing so fast, I can see a difference from morning to nightfall in many plants. Here are some of the lovely early spring blooms that we are enjoying

Spring is Busting Out all Over!
This spring weather has me hopping around in all directions, not knowing what to do first! After finishing the window boxes and cleaning up some flower beds, it was time for some spring decorating outside. First, I tucked Tete a Tete Narcissus bulbs into the twig wreath on the back gate. Then, off to our

DIY Project ~ Welcome Spring! Time to change the window boxes!
After a surprise snow early in the week, it is suddenly spring. The trees are showing halos of green and red as buds prepare to unfurl and birdsong wakes me in the morning. Time to change out the front window boxes with the earliest spring blooms: bulbs. Gathered on the porch for protection for
