Oh won’t cha come with me, and walk this land?
I know it won’t be a long walk, but since I have posted quite nearly nothing at all about my own beloved gadda da vidda this summer…
This is my little container garden. It’s made up of freebies from the garden center (a perk that I cannot [...]
And now for some happy stuff;
The kittens have been weaned and are happily living full time with the Lovely Neighbor. Here are two of them two weeks ago;
Ruby really misses them. This photo of Annie is from when they first arrived.
The alliums are blooming
As are some of the irises…
I wish I had a better camera, [...]
I have had quite a lot going on, and have been neglecting the poor blog. So, here is what is new… blurb style a la Facebook;
I got another job. I am now working 7 days a week, averaging out to around 45 to 50 hours. The new job is at a local garden center and [...]

When people find out I am a Master Gardener, I get asked a lot of questions. Some of them, I cannot answer… like “I have this purple flower, well it’s sort of mauve, and it has 7 or maybe 8 petals and sort of vines, but looks like a bush and it smells terrible and [...]
I suppose the title is pretty self explanatory, but in case it is not; Horticulture Magazine had inside of it’s glossy pages a teeny tiny little ad for witty, seasonally fitting and informative blogs written by landscapers, Master Gardeners, farmers, florists or gardening enthusiasts. I thought, OMG! That’s totally me! I am a Master Gardener [...]
I am lucky to live in a more rural area where there are lots of smaller farms very close by. Local eating is not hard for those of us who live in this area… a ten minute drive could provide me with anything from turkey to free range eggs to buffalo meat to ice cream [...]
As promised, here are the photos of Peter’s book. I had to wait until the rechargeable batteries re-charged before I could get them off the camera!
Front Cover
P is for Penguin.
E is for Elephant, T is for Truck. The truck body crinkles and reads “Pete’s Pitas”.
E is for egg, R is for robot.
