Why do we put up with March's indecision about his identity? Is he winter, or is he spring? From week to week, we never know what's coming next. But then again, we indulge him, giving some grace. After all, he's only three. The banana shrub has a few blooms now, but not enough to perfume … Continue reading Six On Saturday: Fickle March

Six on Saturday. Make that Seven
I should just call this Seven on Saturday because I can’t seem to stick with six. The top photo shows my Japanese magnolia’s last blooms in front of a couple of azaleas in my backyard. When this magnolia matures, she will be lovely. Gaudy azaleas are demanding our attention these days, and I’ll gladly … Continue reading Six on Saturday. Make that Seven
SIX ON SATURDAY: Coming Alive Again
I'm glad I took my photos earlier this week. This is a miserable morning, weather-wise - chilly, rainy, gloomy. But as the Sanford Townsend Band song says, "There's sunshine in my heart again in the middle of all this rain." The garden is coming alive again. The bulbs are doing better than I've seen in … Continue reading SIX ON SATURDAY: Coming Alive Again

I'm delighted, but the recent weather has them so confused since they're usually Spring bloomers. This Encore azalea is not confused. It blooms periodically all year and has … Continue reading Six On Saturday: December Highlights
SIX ON SATURDAY: Repetition
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
Six On Saturday: November Blooms
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
