Spring On The Mountaintop

 It seems that spring has at long last made its way to the mountaintop - happy days indeed! We are not out of the woods yet, but our last snowfall has melted and soon the trees will be leafing out. Is there ever a more beautiful sight than the soft green flush of trees in springtime? 

March Musings

We made it to March, friends, and in just over a week we change the clocks - woo hoo, spring is surely on the way! 

Spring Is Sneaking In Slowly On The Mountain Top

Hello to all my wonderful readers who are still hanging in there after all these months! 

It's amazing how quickly time flies by, even when working from home doing the same thing day after day. 

Hello From The MountainTop!

Hello at long last from the frigid mountaintop!! It's been eons since I've posted anything on here, I can't believe how the months have flown by. I'm sorry I've been away so long - every day I think about you all and plan to put up a post, and then the days/weeks/months slip by once again. 

Spring on the Mountain Top

I cannot believe how long it's been since I posted on here....thank you to all my sweet readers who reached out to make sure Sweetie and I were alright. 

We're fine, thank God, just laying low and staying home, like the rest of the nation. I pray you are all doing well also, and not going stir crazy at this point. 

Hanging In There

What a time this has been for us all - who would have thought a month ago that this odd virus floating around could become a national pandemic? 

Even our remote little mountain top has been affected, with businesses closed from one end of Main Street to the other, and 5 confirmed cases in the area. Scary times, for sure. 

Signs of Spring

Yesterday was a glorious day on the mountain top! The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and best of all......are you ready?? 

Drumroll please.....

Spring Has Sprung!

Well...not really, although it is a weirdly warm day today on the mountain top!! 

BUT gardening season has officially begun in my house, and I'm filled with a renewed sense of excitement!

Spring On My Mind

You know it's wayyyyyy too early for me to be even thinking of spring, don't you? 

After all, I haven't even taken down my Christmas tree yet! 

And let's face it, the mountain top doesn't really see spring until well into April. 

The Garden In Late May

Like much of the country, we have had soooooo much rain this spring, whew sometimes I thought it would never stop!

But lo and behold, this morning I awoke to sunshine and blue skies, so what do you think I did?

I grabbed my camera, that's what!

Spring Projects Galore!

It feels as if it's been taking a lifetime, but spring has almost arrived to the mountain top. 

Oh my gosh, I'm beyond excited! 

Along with the arrival of spring comes any amount of spring chores and projects. 

Get ready for an onslaught of pictures....grab a beverage and settle in! 

Waiting Impatiently For Spring

We've had some lovely warmer days on the mountain top recently, which have me more than ready to welcome spring with wide open arms.

But alas, the cold weather is heading our way once more, and I must try to be patient. 

Patience is not my strong suit. 

Spring Has Sprung!

Spring has sprung in the mountains and I'm beyond happy!! 

Don't get me wrong...I'm sore as heck. With Spring comes a ton of Spring cleanup, which I've been doing non-stop on the weekends....but I'm deliriously happy none the less! 

Building A Cold Frame & Other Spring Projects

It seems that spring has sprung on the mountain top, finally! We still have a long way to go until our last frost date, but at least there is no more snow showing up in the immediate forecast - woo hoo! Fingers crossed it stays that way!

The snow we got on Friday wasn't enough to stop me from getting out in the garden this past weekend and making some major improvements. 

Bits & Bobs...And An Update

We are still waiting for spring to arrive to the mountain top...as a matter of fact just a few minutes ago it was snowing. 

Of course it was....that's because Mother Nature knows I wanted to get out in the garden tomorrow and get some spring cleanup done! 

Garden Inspiration

We go another 10 inches of snow dumped on us last weekend, but that doesn't mean I'm giving up on my garden dreams and plans! 

Mother nature can't stop me....well technically she can, since I haven't been able to get a single thing done outside yet, but she can't stop me from dreaming! 

Adding Style To Your Garden On A Budget

It's officially spring, at least according to the calendar, so my brain is in big time garden mode right now....never mind the 3 - 6 inches of snow and frigid nighttime temps we are expecting.  

That's right....never mind! I'm choosing to ignore that fact at the moment.

The weather has to change sometime, and when it does I want to be ready. 

My Seed Obsession

I have been ordering seeds like mad this season, in an attempt to create my dream garden without paying a fortune at the garden center.

Winter Lingers On

Winter lingers on here on the Mountain Top, that's nothing new. 

We are in the midst of yet another snowstorm, with about 6 inches of snow expected. 

Not surprising as it's still February...winter isn't nearly done with us yet. 

The Garden On Valentine's Day

There's not much to show in the outside garden at the moment - lots of snow, some ice, and abundant blue skies and sunshine. 

It's gorgeous, but a garden post? How can that be?
