  • Still Trying

    I am still trying to download my pictures off of my iphone into my laptop. The same problem persists. I’ve talked to people who know about these things and have tried going into my settings and turning off the cloud under photos, which by the way, wasn’t on. We bought a new tv in Best…

  • Awe Inspiring Beauty

    The trees are so beautiful. Stunning, I am in awe over the different colors, red, yellow. orange, brown. It makes me euphoric! I had read something, five reasons to be awed in life. Coming in at #4 was nature. I couldn’t believe it. For me it is #1. I’m not going into the other top…

  • Downloading Pictures, New Frustration

    I have been trying for weeks to import pictures from my phone. This has kept me from writing new posts, especially in gardening. I used to connect my iphone to my laptop and after acknowledging the connection is legit, my laptop would start importing only the new pictures that I hadn’t already downloaded and I…

  • ….”The Leaves are Falling All Around”…

    This is my favorite time of year, that’s why I got married in October. I love the cooler temperatures, I’m able to work outside for hours and I am always in awe of the beautiful landscape as the seasons change. It is hard to describe the joy that I get seeing the beautiful colors of…

  • More Cut Flowers

    When we got back from Myrtle Beach it was very hot! I wanted to cut some flowers and bring them in the house so P actually came out and helped me. Everything looks so beautiful right now, most all of the perennials are blooming. Below is what I decided to do with them. My absolute…

  • Garden Art – Newel

    One of my latest projects, (I finished months ago) was repainting a newel that I had finished years ago and had out in the garden. I had P drill a hold in the bottom and insert rebar so I can stick it in the ground. It was red, yellow, blue and green, (see picture). I…

  • Indoor Plants

    I am the first to admit that I’m not great with indoor plants, although I have always had them in my homes. The ones I do have are probably the easiest ones to care for such as Peace Lilies, Pothos, Spider Plants, etc. Right now I have 4 Peace Lilies, which are doing well. I…

  • Fresh Flowers

    I once read that Elton John paid some ridiculous amount of money monthly to keep fresh flowers in his house in Atlanta. I too love having fresh flowers in the house! Every time I walk through a room with fresh flowers it gives me joy. There is no better feeling then when the flowers come…

  • What’s new in the Garden

    A lot is going on before the heat sets in here in Virginia, (by the way, today is 90). Monday and Tuesday I spent over 3 hours each day outside digging, moving plants, and weeding. The most disappointing, (actually devastating) is that for the first year in over 12 years my Foxglove did not reseed…

  • Herb Garden

    My herb garden gets the least attention. Since herbs thrive in full sun and don’t need to be mulched, they can easily be ignored……….. for awhile. I do go in a couple of times a year to weed and thin out or cut back. This year I’m giving it more attention than normal. The Thyme…
