Oh so pretty Clematis

Categories Uncategorized8 Comments on Oh so pretty Clematis

This plant was a stick or two in a pot–

found on a end of year clearance sale.

Marked “Clematis”–no variety given.

I gave it a home, tucked up next to Rabbit Run Cottage.

Some patience was required.

So hard to say good bye–to my garden shoes

Categories Uncategorized3 Comments on So hard to say good bye–to my garden shoes

On a  trip to Smith and Hawken– 4 yrs and 4 months ago,

I found these garden shoes.

Made by Bogs.

Leather, with rubber toe bumpers,

easy on and off, comfortable,

and look good.

They have walked many miles…

and I walked the bottom right off one of them!

I tried gluing it back on–twice.

It didn’t work.

And…

They don’t make them anymore!!!!

So the search for replacements

continues….

So hard to say good bye.
