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.

Who says you can’t get something for nothing? I just finished two raised beds made from my neighbor’s old shutters and odds and ends of left over wood, then painted them with surplus deck paint! ZERO COST!! For quite a while, I have admired all sorts of wonderful homemade and commercial raised beds seen on
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
