I have a thing for urns and ice buckets....especially in silver ..... Thrift shops have yielded most of mine.... Sometimes they have pretty details.... And I don't care if they're all tarnished either. This really big one was an especially nice find....in pewter... I mean...seriously, is there any better container for … [Read more...]
Cute Garden Ideas From My Daughter
June 8, 2013 By 29 Comments
Today I'm sharing a post I did last Spring highlighting my daughter and son-in-law's pretty yard! I thought it deserved a re-run in case you missed it! Shelli and her husband live just one mile from me which makes it really nice! I get to see my two grandsons often and we go out for evenings with them frequently to movies, dinner, or the … [Read more...]

Blooming Hydrangeas
May 23, 2012 By 28 Comments

Depending on the soil in each spot, I get a wide variety of shades. I love this soft blue and chartreuse combination. I also love the … [Read more...]
Spring Garden
March 24, 2012 By 7 Comments
It really poured here last night! I mean buckets for an hour or so. The good thing for all the allergy sufferers is that the creek is yellow with pollen this morning so most of the trees had a good washing and maybe the pollen count will go down! I have two kids that really suffer from it and they have been coughing and sneezing for a couple weeks … [Read more...]
Gardening with Children

Doesn't that title sound sweet? I don't know about you but visions of Tasha Tudor's and Joan Walsh Anglund's little drawings pop up. Little girls in soft smocked dresses, brimmed hats and little wellies are carrying baskets, wielding rakes and digging in pretty, deep flower borders. Boys that look like Christopher Robin in little shorts and blond … [Read more...]
