Yay!!!  It’s getting warmer and raining.  Garden likes that.  So do we.

 

Look at one of my gorgeous kale plants.  It looks good enough to eat!!!

 

 

HAPPY  GARDENING!!!

 

We have had some really cold mornings this past week:  in the single digits!!!  A few days it only got up into the 20’s for the high.  Jon had to cover the Rosemary bush we planted this spring.  It is too big to cover with a bucket, so he turned the wheelbarrow upside down over it.  Hey!!!  It is still alive, after a couple mornings of 6 degrees.  

 

The rest of the garden is struggling, but surviving.  Just look at the parsley. 

 

I thought you might like to see some green today.

 

 

HAPPY WINTER!!!

 

Another beautiful picture of London.

 

 

HAPPY TRAVELS!!!

 

 

 

Our friends are traveling to Germany to be with family, and they sent us pix from London.

 

We can’t be there ourselves, but isn’t it wonderful to see it through their eyes.  

 

Thanks Violet!!!!!

 

 

HAPPY WINTER!!!!

 

They said we were going to get snow….And this is what we got…

 

COLD…but not much snow.

 

 

STILL WAITING!!!

 

 

 

Yep.  It’s winter here.  We’ve had some warm days, some rainy days, some windy days, and now we are getting COLD!!  

 

We may even get some snow this week.  That would be OK with me.  

 

If we do, I’ll get you a couple good pictures of the garden and the mountains.

 

HAPPY WINTER!!!

 

We woke up to snow on Wednesday, just a dusting here.  

 

By the afternoon it was warm enough to go for a walk, and all our snow was gone.  When we got to the top of the mountain we could see that Franklin got a bunch of snow.  See it in the distance?

 

Maybe we’ll get some more.  

 

 

HAPPY JANUARY!!!

 

Since I don’t save seeds from my hybrid plants, I had to order new seeds.  

 

So I ordered green, red and Savoy cabbages, cauliflower, broccoli, and some new cherry tomato seeds.

 

I also ordered cumin and pink celery seeds to try for the first time this year.  I’m already getting excited about this year’s garden.

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!! 

 

I’m just dreaming about my summer gardens.  Not wishing away the winter, just dreaming about summer.

 

Here’s a happy memory of Black eyed Susies growing wild in the garden.

 

HAPPY JANUARY!!!

 

 

 

I had a few scraps left from the apron project, so I made pot holders.  They match the yellow flower apron, and the pocket on the navy check one.  I’m going to surprise the giver of the tablecloths with them for her kitchen.

 

She is a quilter too, so I will also give her the paper piecing pattern for the hearts.

 

These remind me of the story of the little girl in my preschool class who made a puppet out of “arts and craps.”

 

 

HAPPY CRAFTING!!!!
