It has been a month since I posted a blog, so I’ll show you double the photos today, but will try to keep the commentary brief. The Gulf Coast has had some roller coaster weather over the last four weeks, with five nights of hard freezes in the week before Christmas, then up to almost … Continue reading SIX ON SATURDAY: Seeing Double
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

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
Hello, beautiful October! So happy to see you! The morning air has a bit of crispness, and the sunlight has softened. There's a definite slowing in the garden, but it never stops. It's 24/7/365 in Zone 8b. It looks like we have a bumper crop of acorns on the oaks surrounding my yard. I'll be … Continue reading SIX ON SATURDAY: October 1, 2022
