Even though the garden is winding down, we still have a bunch of tomatoes ripening daily. The vines are looking a bit ragged, with some dead leaves and branches, and I need to clean them up a bit. But the tomatoes themselves don't seem to mind. I still have several more clusters of grape tomatoes, …

Sunday Chat – Wildlife, the Garden and a Gift Basket
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 …

Sunday Chat with Wildlife
It has been a full week of wildlife visitors, with lots of animals and birds stopping by. I give treats to some, and some I have to hold my breath not to scare away. There is a small herd of five female deer that live in the forest on our property and the adjoining properties. …
Sunday Chat
On the veranda, look who is back! The wren couple have build another nest in a little metal bucket. I felt so bad for them when something got their eggs a couple of weeks ago. Maybe they will be able to raise a family this time. I hope their nest is high enough so no …
Sunday Stitching, Making Plans, and More Wildlife
Over the past few weeks, I've finished up all the Zoom contracts that I had for my Scrap Dancing program. On the last two, I mentioned that I would be doing a tutorial on Pin Weaving. I thought I could just link the Moda Bake Shop post, but their website update appears to have dropped …

November in the Garden
November usually brings colorful trees with gold and rust, burgundy and rich browns. This year it is a little sparse, as two storms with high winds have brought down a lot of leaves before they could turn. I did get a photo of this one, in the process of changing to a lovely orangy gold. …
Beginning of Winter
After a warmer than usual Autumn, we finally got a cold spell over the past couple of weeks, turning the remaining leaves pretty colors. Most of the trees are bare now, but a few remain here and there. This picture is from the last week in November, early morning mist is settled in the valley …
Extraordinary Wildlife and Autumn Color
Sometimes something extraordinary happens here, and very rarely do I get to photograph it, but this day was special. Long time readers will know about the wild turkey we call Clarence, and how he comes by every few days for a handout. His cluck-purr is wonderful to hear, and he preens a bit for us …
March Mountain Living
Looking out of the kitchen window earlier in the week, there were about 22 turkeys in the meadow. I took this to be the female flock, and it had grown from the 13 or so that usually come by. I decided to try to sneak out to the veranda to get a picture of them …
September in the Garden, the Deer Visit
Temperatures cooling off last week have ended the flowering of some of the plants. All the veggies are done, what little I got from them. I picked up another soil test at the Fair, so I'll be doing another one to see if something has changed that might explain the lack of produce. The plants …
