Getting Closer to Salad Time

The end of May is getting closer, and it has been a rather busy month.  We got everything into the garden, had to replant a few things that didn’t quite make it – – now the waiting (and watching) starts!   Checking out the garden on a daily basis is now a routine for us, just [...]

Building the Perfect Garden Spot

We have been super busy over here getting our garden area ready for planting.  The raised garden bed has been built, the bed liner is in, and it’s now filled with rich garden soil.  It looks so beautiful and sometimes it is hard to believe that “we” made it.  We believe we took the correct [...]

Doggone-It Now That’s Loyalty

The other day I saw this sad video about a yellow lab that got hit by a car in California – the driver who hit the dog never stopped, the lab died.  But what was amazing about this story was the black lab who walked out into the busy street to lay next to his [...]

Dreaming of Summer Blooms

We just had a few days of snow, yes snow, and it got me to thinking about how the summer months bring so many beautiful blooms in the garden.  With the arrival of Spring we watch our plants start to emerge from the ground, and new birth begins.  We dream of  what our gardens will look like, [...]
