They're beautiful! I think our sweet warm spring here in PDX has been great for the roses. I'm sure you'll be adding them to your art work as they are totally inspiring!

I was working in the garden last weekend and as I neared the full-bloomed Marion Berry bushes I literally heard humming. The berry bushes were covered with all kinds of bees. I always am so excited when bees find my flowers, fruits and veggies. I work hard to keep the... Continue reading

Getting Older Might Not Be So Bad

Sometimes the universe is there to give us a little slap upside the head when we need it. This happened to me the other day; coincidently on my birthday, which was a big one that I had spent way too much time fussing over. This is me at my 4th... Continue reading

Hi Jean. I've never seen a tutorial but I wonder if you were to contact the restaurant they might have some information on who created it for them. When I'm able to sit close enough to it I can tell a hole is drilled in the bottom of the bottle and a cable runs through it. The little crimps and washers are to hold each bottle in place. Other than that I'm stumped. Good luck and send me pix if you figure it out. It really is cool!!

The Beauty of Terrariums

I was hoping to find a tall glass cylinder 'pot' when I stopped by Garden Fever in Portland. I was in the mood to make another terrarium and had been looking for the perfect vessel. I wanted to add height near the window and I wanted it large enough to... Continue reading

So nice of you! I ran right over to your blog. Very nice indeed! Love your pear tree!

Beautifully said! I often think of how much I love the quirky things about people I love and the way nature decides what do do with the things we plant. I appreciate how nature constantly surprises us.

One For The Birds

Lots of yard work accomplished this weekend. The back vegetable area which is fenced looked like the weeds may be winning the battle. Provide nice soil, mild winter, spring sunshine and it perfect for all the native weeds. I got to work, bed by bed, and path by path until... Continue reading

We Oregonians never take a beautiful day for granted. When the sun comes out in April and sticks around for a few days we are all happy! Everyone is outside, walking with kids, walking with dogs, mowing, running, but mostly smiling. I took these pictures on my daily walk. Simple... Continue reading

I find it hilarious that Typepad features your blog as you announce your departure from them. I love your little woolies. Best of luck at Wordpress!

We use a split nozzle and hook up a timer then, coming off of that are these little skinny black tubes that can be laid into each pot or basket. Bigger pots can get two or three. I think I'd better write about this and include pictures. I know I got the necessities at Home Depot. I'll get more info and let you know. I'm glad you asked!

I get exactly what you're saying about the mid-summer heat. The best thing I did was set up a timer drip for my pots and hanging baskets. Twice a day all summer and everything survived! I highly recommend it. I'd better write about it one of these days...as soon as mine are set out again. Thanks for reading!

68 Degrees and Sunny

We are being treated to the most beautiful weather right now. Our very soggy spring of last year is just a bad memory and we are now enjoying spring as it should be. Every shade of green, and all colors of flower in full, glorious bloom. I’m working on getting... Continue reading

After such a traumatic week watching everything unfolding in Boston I loved seeing this when I was out for a walk. Something about the addition of the heart just made me smile. Thanks little Leo, whoever you are. Continue reading

Food to Feed the Soul

After another senseless tragedy in Boston I again turned to comfort via food. After 911 I made soup…a lot. Just ask my kids, who seemed to wonder about my constant chopping, sautéing, and simmering. That’s also when I pulled out my old knitting needles and re-learned to knit. I think... Continue reading

A Do It Yourself Headboard

We recently decided to purchase a new king-size bed, which not only meant new sheets, and all the necessary bed coverings, but also a new headboard as well. Being the do-it-yourselfers that we are, we did our research then jumped in and made it. I knew I wanted it to... Continue reading

In a promise to myself to not complain about the current weather, but to appreciate the sunny days we had and... Continue reading
