A thunderstorm woke me up this morning, and we’re supposed to have showers throughout the day. That’s a good thing since the garden was getting pretty dry. I don’t wait until Saturday to take pictures to share with you, so let it rain! I had already planned the six flower photos to post, but I … Continue reading Six On Saturday: October Slowdown

Six On Saturday: Soggy Summer
We've had plenty of rain in our part of the USA this summer. Now hurricane season adds more moisture to the soil - but I'm not complaining.

Keep them in your prayers and help if you're … Continue reading Six On Saturday: Soggy Summer

Like most scheduled events, this horse race has been postponed until a later date. I'll settle for listening to the Dan Fogelberg song, "Run for the Roses." … Continue reading Six on Saturday: Recovering the Roses

I'm grateful to have a nice sized yard with interesting textures, foliage, and flowering plants to keep me from being bored in this time of social isolation. I don't need much to keep me entertained. Every new day brings something different. Let's start this week's post with Oakleaf Hydrangea. The panicles are just starting to … Continue reading Six on Saturday Mid-April Blooms
