It’s overcast outside this morning with a bit of drizzle, but we expect heavier rains later. That’s okay with me since I don’t have to go anywhere. Instead, I’m looking forward to our state’s main college rivalry football game today. The content from my garden for Six on Saturday is limited to a few spots … Continue reading SIX ON SATURDAY: Repetition
I feel like I’m showing yall the same old things over and over again. But looking back through my posts, I have tried to have some variety in the things I share. I guess because I’m taking multiple pictures of the same flowers in my yard, I think I’m being repetitive. I just don't want … Continue reading Six On Saturday: November Blooms
In the garden this week, I had a couple of surprises. Late autumn continues to slow the growth of many plants, which isn't a bad thing.

So we’ll overlook … Continue reading SIX ON SATURDAY Back to My Garden in Late October
Just look at all the wildflowers in this field! Can’t see them? You’re just not looking closely enough. Believe me. They’re in there. But first, let me say this post is sort of incomplete. Earlier this week, I took the photos you see today, but I was in a hurry. I’d planned to return to … Continue reading Six on Saturday: 2022 Fall Wildflowers
This week, a friend and I made a little trip down to south Mobile County to Bellingrath Gardens. My last visit was in the spring, so I knew there would be plenty to see now that it's early autumn. It may as well have been summer, given the warmth and relentless sunshine, but we enjoyed … Continue reading Six on Saturday: Another Visit to Bellingrath
