I was questioned about
“what I do”, by someone I recently met.
my answer was–
I tend…
Children, Critters, and the garden.

Gardener’s Toolbox
As the greenhouse clean up continues…
My trusty toolbox also needed to be cleaned and organized.
It may have been a fishing tackle box in a former life–
full of compartments that all become easy to see when it is open.
Please do not think for a moment that this organization translates to the rest of my things!
Sweet Pea
I have never had luck growing sweet peas.
This year I tried just one more time.
Potted into a large clay pot, they have been growing, and growing…
And today–the first blossom.
Quiet Moments In The Garden
After a busy day in the garden,
I was glad to sit quietly and study the beautiful patterns
and colors of this large moth.
more Zinnia
Because they are just so pretty.
The Pickery
The back of the greenhouse is planted in annuals.
Zinnia, Bachelor Buttons, Snapdragons, and Celosia.
Colorful and available for cutting….
The Pickery!
Rabbit Run Cottage
Not big changes,
but refreshed and ready for your viewing pleasure.
Nasturtium–Peaches and Cream
Out the front door
This was at sunset last night.
We watched it build and then fade just as quickly.
Beautiful on a hot Summer evening.
Nasturtium love–the heat
The nasturtium seem to be happy with the record heat wave.
Can you see I still need to touch up the greenhouse paint,
and wash the glass?!
