The librarian at my school is a lovely woman who is a little quirkey, and loves to read more than anything else in the whole world. She is a fantatasic librarian, it is like she was destined to do it. Well she has an office in the library and can actually keep a coffee pot [...]

Purple Flowers
Posted in Flowers, tagged Allium, Dame's Rocket, Forget Me Not, Geranium, Salvia on May 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
realized it is not that i have a lull in blooms at this time of year…it is actually that absolutely everything blooming in my garden is purple. Purple allium, purple iris, purple dame’s rocket (a wild flower that resembles phlox but with four petals instead of five), purple sage flowers, purple salvia, purple phlox, [...]

This photo is from a couple weeks ago. I have been walking quite a bit in the park, but it has been pretty cold and not too much new seems to be happening. In my garden the azaleas are starting to bud, and the salvia is just beginning to bloom and I have two lonely [...]
Lilacs are Fading

It has been really cool but sunny here. I like it actually, it is not so hot that the flowers have wilted only just having just started to bloom. The strawberries in my garden are really happy and hopefully I will have a bunch this year; the problem typically is that I planted some a [...]
Putting in grass and other gardening

Spent most of the day on Sunday working in the garden. Did my mowing and started weeding when the hubby came out to help with the grass. We have finally given up on any perennials or garden plants surviving the salt and summer heat. We also finally groomed and grassed the area in front of [...]

A lovely day made lovelier by the closing of a gym.

I have a confession to make, I have been going to the gym on these lovely days. I know, I know what a tragic thing to do. But I had to, you see it has rained or threatened rain for several days, and I had a “bad” week last week (we won’t go into the [...]
Purple Lilacs and Purple Tulips
Posted in Uncategorized on May 5, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
My friend Michelle thinks this particular variety of tulip is a really pretty color. I love it. I am planning to divide them this fall and give her some. The lilacs seem early this year. It seems like the tulips are usually gone when they begin to bloom. Lilacs for me are all about college. [...]
White Trillium
Posted in Flowers on May 5, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Whenever I think of my Mom and flowers, I think of trillium. I just remember her noting the trillium in the woods near our house growing up. There was an old stone quarry that had flooded, and it had a lovely path around it that we would walk sometimes, and eventually ride the horses around. My [...]
Thistle in the Yard
Posted in Flowers on May 5, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
About two weeks ago, I decided to start pulling up the thistle in the back yard. I got about halfway done and quit. This is what remains. I want to leave it, it’s in an area that is not really used much in the yard, because I think the purple flowers are so pretty. The [...]
