Today, I’ll deviate from the Six on Saturday format to share a lovely afternoon I had a couple of weeks ago. A friend invited me to a Home and Garden Tour in one of Mobile, Alabama’s downtown historic districts. Her daughter and son-in-law live in one of the houses listed on the National Register of … Continue reading OAKLEIGH GARDEN DISTRICT WALKING TOUR
I grew up in the Deep South—Alabama, to be exact. I just want to admit that it carries a lot of baggage. I could write volumes on this subject that I've spent a lifetime processing. But for today, I want to focus on one of the less controversial aspects of Southern traditions. Ask any true … Continue reading SIX ON SATURDAY: A Southern Tradition

But you can still find something blooming 365 days per year somewhere out there, so I’ll show you … Continue reading SIX ON SATURDAY: End of September 2023
I was up before daylight this morning, but the cardinals were already singing. Shep and I went out to enjoy the foggy quiet of the garden, but one after another, the wrens, woodpeckers, chickadees, and thrashers joined in song. Not to be outdone, the neighborhood rooster also made his presence known. No sounds of silence … Continue reading Six on Saturday: Foggy April Morning
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
