Gardens and Gardening
Festive and Metallic at Wright Park
Earlier this week we went to Tacoma and while we were waiting for our new sheepskin seat covers to be fitted to our car, we took a walk at nearby Wright Park. In addition to the large trees, walking path, fountains and pond, there… Continue Reading “Festive and Metallic at Wright Park”
Fall’s Last Hurrah
It’s cold and damp in the Great Northwest and the garden is spent. Most of the leaves are on the ground, tracked into my house, and in the lawn with the mushrooms that have cropped up. We’re expecting a cyclone bomb (make that a… Continue Reading “Fall’s Last Hurrah”
Happy Sunday Flowers – and my Ketchup and Mustard Rose
I recently showed you pictures of a little rosebud that overcame being planted in the wrong place in the spring, then being cut back and transplanted at the wrong time, in the middle of summer.

Did you forget something’s missing?” “I guess I did! Look at me run… Continue Reading “Lessons from Benji and Musings on Fall”
Clematis – Two Ways
I’ve shared many pictures of Clematis Montana, a faithful, pink, prolific climber, that lights up my garden every year in May. But rising above the fray, here and there, is another clematis with large white blossoms few and far between. It stays put year… Continue Reading “Clematis – Two Ways”
Hummingbirds in the Garden
I’ve been waiting for the hummingbirds to drop by my garden beds while I have my camera in hand and yesterday, they obliged. Sorry, so many pictures, I couldn’t pick my favorites. These last two are somewhat blurry but I liked the different angle.… Continue Reading “Hummingbirds in the Garden”
