No summer would be complete without some Zinnia’s in the garden or on my table.
Though my house is under construction, I’m still bringing in flowers for the table.
I’m in love with the morning light in my new dining room.
Propagating Pretty
Propagating the Scented Geranium that I used in the wedding flowers.
I ran out of Rooting Hormone and grabbed the next best thing, cinnamon!
You can use cinnamon and wow does it smell delicious in the greenhouse today!
Happy 4th Of July!
Worth Framing
Lucy has been picking up my camera this summer.
Playing and learning a bit about photography.
I like her work!
The Background
The Alter.
June 20 on a beautiful Saturday, our daughter Laura married Drew.
The details were months in making.
After years of making wedding bouquets for brides, I created flowers for one of my own.
This is were they said their vows to each other.
Pausing
In one week we will gather lots of family and friends for a wedding.
Every minute of each day is filled with preparations.
Some of the very flowers growing here around the garden will be used at the event.
I can’t wait to share it with all of my garden friends here on Down To Earth Digs.

Petting Zoo
This little baby bird was wandering the yard yesterday.
His little wing is injured and I couldn’t leave him to suffer.
His first night was in the greenhouse but it became quite warm today.
I moved him to the potting shed and gave him his own little nest from my collection.
A trip to the store for some mealy worms to feed him, I’m now squeezing in mama bird duties to my day.
Otto is so curious!
The Heat Is On
Just what the garden has been waiting for!
The flowers were just waiting for the warm up to show their flowers.
It’s going to be a colorful week here in the little garden.
Nasturtium is one of my favorite flowers.
The entire plant is edible! Add them to your fresh salad for a little peppery zip.
Now I just need some tasty heirloom tomatoes….come on garden!
Wind And Baby Birds
Do not mix!
