I'm closing out the month showing a variety of fungi I found during our very wet July. The heat, humidity, and overabundance of rain have provided a welcoming environment. The different colors and shapes fascinate me. The last time I was in a local bookstore, I picked up a reference book on mushrooms to identify … Continue reading Six on Saturday: July Fungi

Six On Saturday: My Neighbor’s Garden
I know the tenth commandment says we should not desire anything that belongs to our neighbor, but I come pretty close to breaking this one when I look around my neighbor's lovely garden. We have lived next door to each other for thirty-seven years. We have shared plants, ideas, weeds, and especially friendship throughout that … Continue reading Six On Saturday: My Neighbor’s Garden

Six On Saturday: “June is Bustin’ Out All Over.”
I’ve had that song (see blog title) in my head all week. It’s from the old Broadway musical Carousel. It had some good Rodgers and Hammerstein tunes but a terrible storyline and unsympathetic characters. It just goes to show that you shouldn’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. I worked in the garden several … Continue reading Six On Saturday: “June is Bustin’ Out All Over.”
Six On Saturday: Plus a Couple More
I started my morning walk around the yard, taking my usual route. Not that I always make the circuit from right to left, but Shep seems to prefer this direction. So I started down the narrow path between the nandinas and the flower bed, just past the new wooden gate. I had to move some … Continue reading Six On Saturday: Plus a Couple More
