Amazing what can happen when you leave for four days and you come back to inspect your gardens Different flowers are blooming and plants are finally growing!

Is it Sunday or Monday? i don’t know – I’ve lost track. 😉 I suppose I better get my act together soon, though, so that I make sure we all get off to work and school in the morning. We had a fabulous long weekend, spending Saturday on some gardening projects and yard work and […] Read more…

How was your weekend? Ours was nice and uneventful at home. We golfed, we enjoyed time on our patio, and today I packed up my suitcase for the next two weeks. I’m off to Washington DC tomorrow morning for a work-related conference and I’m looking forward to seeing my turkey peeps for a few days. […] Read more…
