I am not a trimmer and sometimes if I don’t know what a plant is in my garden, I will let it grow until I figure out what it is. Which is partially how I gained teasel in the front yard. It is also why my garden is an English Garden and not a French [...]

A man I see walking from time to time, passed by my yard today. He laughed and called out “I bet you thought that would be better than having to cut the grass. I was weeding the perennials. I said actually no it isn’t that bad. He told me that he doesn’t plant it if [...]

I just love the color of willow trees in the spring.
I also love this flower. It is not a seed or bulb plant rather it has a corm. The squirrels love it though and at one point we had many in the yard, but only three plants have survived the squirrels.

Days like today the skies are amazing, like a watercolor painting. I love to see the trees silhouetted against the sky. There was a nice breeze too. The birds are shy at the watershed and don’t like to have their pictures taken. I think I saw a mockingbird for the first time. I checked it [...]
