6/2/2026 A Great Visit!

 We had a great visit today!  Some 

co-workers stopped by to visit and

brought a care package.  It really 

brighten the day for us!  We needed

a break from all the surgeries, doctor

visits and stress!

In the lovely care package was cards

that helped bring a smile to our faces.

More beautiful flowers to enjoy inside.

A big thank you to all that signed the cards

and the care package with flowers. 

One of the cards had a cute fold up bear inside.

Another Day

 Another surgery!   With more

to come!

Surprises in the yard! 5/29/2026

 

Second Bloom

Leafing out,

Happy Memorial Day!

 

Time to Tidy Up!

Time to start the spring tidy up

in the garden as they are done blooming

for the season.   I already have a buck

of Columbine seeds!   Already starting

to see the Perennial Hibiscus up!   I 

love our dinner plate bloomers.

So excuse me for not being here as

my plate is full at this time of year.

This weekend I was able to get the 

front yard 90% cut back of the spring

bloomers.  With only 10% of the back

yard done.  The wind and heat made it

a slow process.  I have so much junk

blowing out of the north trees.

Life Has Been Peaceful!!

 My computer went down a few 

days ago and I just got it back!

I really didn't miss all the spam! 

 I did get a lot done besides 

running to all the doctor's appt.

I'll be using the phone more so 

I don't have to deal with the spam!

Another Day

 Another hospital surgery!

5/18/2026 Our Blog Hit 151,000!

 We may have hit 151,000 yesterday

but the views do not add up to the hits.

It amazes me but it brings more

questions as to why?  

We started the blog in 2002 to educate

folks on what we grow or specialize

in here in our gardens.  Our place is 

where one can sit, enjoy, find peace 

and get inspired to garden.  

But this year has been really hard 

to stay focus.  This year the weeds

have been so bad!  All one has to

do is look around us and see how

unkept the yards are.  

You can tell they don't take pride in 

where they live.

Yes, these folks devaluate the adjacent 

properties.  They don't care!   

Hope You Had A Great Day!

 I spent my afternoon at OSHU

Knight's Cancer Center!

  I personally want to thank the 

Knight Family for their work 

in helping those with Cancer.

2026 --- Garden Tour

 As you can see the garden is

taking off and it's a passion of

love to watch it grow and bloom.

This is the spring tour.

2026 Brugmansia

 To my surprise the first bud on 

B. Shorty's variegated was shredded!

 

The weather has been so strange and

none of the other buds appear this way.
