Creating a Secret Garden

Remember the other day I told you I was working on a project?  

I know, big shocker, right? 

I'm always working on something, it seems.

Even more of a shocker? 

Flowers for a Cottage Garden

The past two nights our temps were supposed to dip down to 31 degrees, which scared me just the teensiest bit. 

Because I've been a naughty girl. 

I've been planting. 

Very Special Visitors

I awoke to the most glorious sunshine today, which was most welcome after all the rain we had yesterday!

It was enough to make me throw a jacket right over my bathrobe and head on out for a morning walkabout with my coffee. 

Isn't that just the most wonderful way to start a day?

Necessary Evils

There are things I don't really mind having to spend money on. They either give me great pleasure or they feed my body and/or soul. 

Like cheese. And chocolate. And wine. And gardening. And books. 

All good, nourishing things. Happy things. 

And then there are the necessary evils. 

The Easy Peasy Way to Grow Potatoes

It was a busy, busy weekend around here and I have tons to show you....but I have to get outside before the rain comes to give my grass the first cut of the season. 

On Your Mark....Get Set.....GO!!

Are you ready? 

It's time to get started!!

Happiness

There are so many things right now that just make me want to do a happy dance - isn't that just the best feeling? 

Simple things that make me grab the camera and try to capture the moment forever.
