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’m sitting here, looking at my calendar for the month of April and realize why I’m tired. I thought March was busy, but April’s activities were a very different sort. This is not a Six on Saturday blog today, but I’m throwing in some garden pictures with paragraphs that have nothing to do with the … Continue reading April 30, 2024: Where Did the Month Go?

I got a bigger umbrella to cover more area that gets a lot of hot mid-day sun, and I love the wider diameter. Although we try to close the umbrella … Continue reading How Big is Your Umbrella?
I'm a bit distracted today, and frustrated with back pain again. I think I can do things when my back doesn't hurt, but forget that overdoing it causes the pain to return. Evidently, I'm a slow learner. Or maybe just stubborn. Anyway, let's look at my garden as we close out this beautiful month of … Continue reading SIX ON SATURDAY: May or Maybe Not
