What I Saw on Saturday

 

I love the broken flower pots with little rocks stacked in there!!!!

Went to the nursery today....

 

No winter lasts forever;

no spring skips its turn!

Hang in there!!!

January Marches On!

 

I do love Paperwhites!

They have got to be the easiest bulb to grow!

 

 

I've been a very bad blogger these last few months...

and I certainly don't seem to be improving in 2013.

 

So thought I'd try to share a bit...

 

Although I can grow Paperwhites,

I'm struggling with a couple of

Pyramind Hollies

in front of my house...

 

The people that know about this sort of thing

advised me to pull them up and add more

soil and water them more.

 

I thought they were maybe rotting....

no, they don't think so.....

 

I just bought them in December and

they were NOT cheap...

I am determined to save them!

 

Any expert advice?

(major leaf loss and no sign of insects)

 

I also FINALLY repaired a hole in The Pink Artists Quilt!

(None of the old links for that group work!!!)

Someone had used something resembling a whisk broom in it and it

had cut the fabric.  The quilt is very heavy and I had to fix the hole

before I can hang it.

 

DH is helping me hang it during halftime in the playoff game

that is on right now...

 

I'll show ya soon!

 

 

 

And my granddaughter keeps me a little busy...

not much....

but enough...

 

She saw her shadow Friday....

 

 

and then there was the Cotton Bowl

which the Aggies won!

And Johnny Manziel!

 

Here is a shot of my granddog wearing his tshirt well!

 

I'm going to try to do better

or

I might stop blogging...

 

I think I'm running out of blog stuff...

 

 

What's Your Garden Heritage?

I dooooo like me some metal flowers!

I have some more that never got taken out of the garage after Hurricane Ike.

After hauling all my little goodies out of the yard before Ike blew into Houston,

I vowed I would not put all of it back out there!

But I'm seeing some things online that make me realize I need to do more container gardening.

After my daughter's wedding (two weeks from today), I'm making a fairy garden!

I have a Master Gardener friend, Brenda, that works in a local gardening shop

and Thursday she was making one for a customer.

She knows that I want to make my own

and

she's going to call me when their little chair sets arrive.

They have the most darling little metal structures

(I can't think what you call them...not a pagoda, but a .....)

with a tiny little chandelier hanging inside!

Brenda said "you probably have some moss growing in your yard with all the rain we've had".

Hmmm....haven't seen any....perhaps I will look.

Then I can harvest it for my fairy garden!

This is the one she was working on....

I have decided that my flower leanings go back to my Grandmother Louella.

Her flower gardens are the first I remember

and

I just know she would love all these embellishments.

I also want to make a container junk garden....

Go check out Sassytrash's.

And be sure and go to older posts and see

her May 14 one. My grandmother and most of my heritage is in Georgia...

makes me think there's something to that....

Sassytrash is in Georgia, too.

I like their gardens!
