Quilting, cooking, reading books, gardening, crafting, sewing, photography and more
Once again, we've had a busy week with yet one more quick trip to Atlanta among appointments and planning a big event that was held yesterday. I'll have more on that for you in a day or so. In the heat this week, my daylilies decided it was time to start their show. I got …

Planting pots and my veggie garden the past two weeks was a lot of work. On a cool morning, I got out early to do the heavy work while it was still nice outside. It warmed up fast, though. First up was to pull the weeds in the front flowerbed. Luckily, there weren't too many, …
This weekend, I finally am getting to my garden planting. Usually I've put seeds in peat pots weeks before now, and planted my pots with annuals in early May. Not this year, so I had some catching up to do. My plants that survived the winter in the sunroom were moved to the veranda, but …
More things have been blooming around our home, and a few have come and gone. It is enchanting that we have lady slippers, as they are so difficult to grow. I was thrilled a few years ago when one turned into two. Each year I marvel at the unusual flower that grows where the fairies …

The tulips last quite a while, and are inter-planted with smaller flowers to fill in the beds. Small violets and little marigold-like flowers bloom between velvet red …
More things are blooming in the garden this week, and more birds have been showing up at the feeder. The redbud tree has burst into glorious color, a lavender-pink that is just beautiful. It is alive with honey bees. The branches are full of blooms. When a goldfinch landed on a branch, I tried to …
It is going to be busy, busy for several more weeks, so it is important to take a moment to breathe, and find some calm and peace. For me, the early morning when the dawn light softly lights the fog across the valley, settling in the layers between the hills is quiet time. Birdsong delights …
