Eye candy Friday
Posted in garden on Jul 3rd, 2009
It is Friday isn’t it? I hope so, this week has been long enough without having to do any of it over. I think it’s G&T time. Enjoy your weekend, chickadees.
Sorry for the out-of-focus shot. We ate these while they were still sun-warm from the vines. One bite and they popped open with sweet, juicy flavor. && Did you see what Claudia raised on her MS ride? Knitters are amazing, even in a down year the donations came through. Congratulations to her and all the [...]
Lettuce wars
Posted in garden on Jun 10th, 2009
It’s been hand-to-worm combat in the lettuce wars around here for the last couple of days and I have to admit I think it’s a draw. The little buggers are only nibbling on the green lettuce in passing, but they’ve devoured the red leaf lettuce right down to the nubbins. And then they eat the [...]
It’s been a good year for the Wool and Spice Patio Farm. The tomatoes are thriving with lots of little green babies and the cucumbers are experiencing a growth spurt. Can’t wait to see little tiny cucumbers. The radishes were a dud but I’ve decided it’s because I didn’t thin them enough. I pulled most [...]
Strawberry Saturday
Posted in garden on May 30th, 2009
I’m not taking a picture of the sky today because I got STRAWBERRIES instead. The U-Pick field opened today and Jack and I zoomed out of the house early to beat the heat. Thirty pounds of strawberries later we came home. It was lovely. Except for the deer poop I nearly sat in. Oy. I’ve [...]
Eye candy Friday

A rose is a rose this time. This Carefree Beauty Rose is the only rose in my tiny garden. It’s a huge shrub, about 5 feet tall and wide, covered in blooms all summer and except for pruning and a little fertilizer now and then, really is carefree. Despite what Fine Gardening has to say, [...]
Buzzzzzzzzy enjoying spring, hope you are too! There’s knitting going on, I’ll have something to show for it next week. I got tired of working on old projects and started something new. I’m liking it. And a little spinning but I only have undyed fiber so it’s boring. (I know! Let’s learn to dye next! [...]
A rose is a rose…
Posted in garden, Hometown Tourist on May 13th, 2009
is actually a peony bud. Doesn’t it look like a big ole red rose? When it opens it looks like this: This is the Hephestos Daphnis peony which is part of the peony garden at the Linda Hall Library of Science, Engineering & Technology. My friend E and I took a stroll through the garden [...]
Bird brains

It’s been a great year for goldfinches at the feeder. While these 4 were pigging out there were another 3 or 4 zooming around angling for their share. Last year they gave us a pass and left the feeder to woodpeckers and nuthatches. And I saw our first rose breasted grosbeak checking out the buffet [...]
