Coming home from our adventures in Virginia, the tomato plants were prolific in our absence. The day we left, I gave all I had at that time to my neighbor for her help watering my plants while we were gone. This basket was collected the day we got back, and a few went on salads …

A Quick Getaway Adventure
Last week, we packed up the car and headed north to Ohio for My Sweet Babboo to see a classic car show in Columbus. We have friends that live there, and his brother is also there, so we could see the show and do a bit of visiting too. It was fun to drive on …
Adventures in Yellowstone
I imagine you can guess where we've been from this photo. We are back from a wonderful vacation trip to Yellowstone National Park and Glacier National Park. This was my first time to see either park, even to be in that part of the country. I took almost 500 pictures and I'll show you just …
A Tablescapers Dream Store
While we were in Greensboro, I asked DH to take me to the Replacement China store just east of town. I've wanted to visit this store for years. They thoughtfully have provided a lounge area at the back with comfy chairs and a TV, so DH could read his Kindle while I enjoyed the displays. …
Quick Trip to Greensboro
A little over a week ago, we made a quick trip to Greensboro for a car show on Saturday. We drove over Friday so we could have some fun on the way. The first stop was the Greensboro Arboretum. This is a lovely small arboretum and park on a narrow strip of land between a …
Quilting Fun in Sevierville, Tennessee

The Raulston Arboretum, Part 2
Returning to the JC Raulston Arboretum, there is so much more to see. Day lilies are prevalent in NC, and they had a number of beautiful specimens in bloom in August. My home garden day lilies are earlier bloomers. At least the ones I have left, LOL, after digging up a bunch and giving them …
Visiting the Raulston Arboretum
While I still work on secret sewing, I thought I would finally show you the gardens I visited in Raleigh. The JC Raulston Arboretum is maintained by NC State University as a study area for plants and trees that would do well in our area of the country. They describe themselves as a 'living laboratory' …
Dunlawton Sugar Mill Gardens
Last summer, when we went to Florida to visit friends, they took us to the Dunlawton Sugar Mill Gardens in Port Orange. Knowing that we enjoy walking in nature, this was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. While I work on secret sewing projects, and it is bitterly cold outside, I thought it would …
