We’re Home, I’m Glad, But Cranky
I’m home and I’m glad. I’m glad to be back in the company of Dirt, glad for being surrounded with familiarity. A change freak, party girl, recognizes that she needs, needs, familiarity and quiet. If you desire to see the cute and fuzzy side of the fair check out Kathy’s Spot on Cedar Pond, she … Continue reading
Diggin In
The Dirt Man The dirt claw, ain’t it handsome The island in the pond that Mike dug out, mighty fine job. Thanks Mike! But more must be done. Chomp, chomp. The black prongy thing under the yellow arm is called a thumb. The operator can leave it in this position and bring the bucket to … Continue reading
Ahem, Correction
As I was checking to make sure Mike’s comment got to Apologies I noticed I messed up again on trying to relay someone else’s humor. Without re-listen to the recording I have of Demitri Martin (he is almost a guaranteed distraction) I think I fixed it. If you haven’t heard him and aren’t terribly sensitve … Continue reading
Smell That: Summer Style
Mmm ummm ummm umm um, I sure wish that through the miracle of technology I could share the scent as well as the sight of these beauties! But then some of you would have to quickly escape until the fragrance dissipated. To which I am not sure I get. I know there are some things … Continue reading

In the summer I have sweet peas climbing up strings, except for this summerthis was the only sweet pea that survived the … Continue reading
Color
I’m no expert, I’m not wealthy (the wife of a school teacher), and I’m greenhouseless. So my gardening adventures are often on the cheap. Every once in a while I splurge, in a cheap way. This spring I splurged and bought some more begonia tubers (This is one of my originals) to help fill out … Continue reading
Beautiful Day
Oh it is exquisite out again today! The cherries on the big tree are so red I can see them from the house. I just hope the birds can’t see them today.I think I am going to talk the girls into buying a 16 foot orchard ladder from McLendon’s today and tie it to the … Continue reading
Ta Da, The Grape Is Draped
I did it and in less than an hour! It will definitely need better arranging this fall or winter when I can manage the vines better without greenery on them but for now it works. I can actually tell I have a dining room window. Off to my next job.
