Look at that blue sky! Here seen through the tracery of a #liquidambar or #sweetgum - the kind of tree that I appreciate more in other people’s gardens. Today was just a beautiful day, and we passed under this beauty on our walk around the neighborhood. I’m sure all those fallen fruits are a pain in the butt to deal with, but so are both the leaves and the cones from my big magnolia. Even so, I would rather be surrounded by trees than not. Plant more trees! Now is a great time to do it!We have the best neighbors. Mike is a baking god. He just brought over this freshly baked loaf of bread. Note the leaf pattern. Too pretty to eat, but so darn tasty! #freshlybakedbread #homebaker #stillwarm #bestneighborsSuper excited! I just planted a tree. After three years of relative misery in progressively larger pots, it’s finally tall enough to have its head above the fray in the spot where I want it, so it finally got its feet in the ground. By the time I finished, it was dark, so no photo yet. It’s pretty much a stick this time of year anyway. Snapped a couple of other little vignettes, lit by my favorite solar spots. #plantedatreetoday #treesaretheview #carexsparkplug #ferns #epimediumfargesiiA favorite spot on my neighborhood walk. Love the foliar textures, and the fact that it completely conceals the house behind it. #neighborhoodwalk #evergreenshrubs #evergreentrees #fabfoliage #screeningplants #privacysolution #busystreet #shutouttheworldelegantlyHere we go... it’s #helleboretime again! #mygarden #addictionproblem #somanygoodonesWonder what the best way to peel one of these is...? #fusedbanana #hongphat

Eggsactly what color is ‘eggplant’?
When you tell people you just recommended to someone they paint their house purple, you get some funny looks, communicating bemused disbelief. So, for the purpose of calming the waters, I have taken to circumventing my aversion of assigning names … Continue reading

You can always tell the pot smokers from the non-users the first time they as new visitors walks up our driveway. At a particular point in this short journey, the hemp users invariably jump, which always makes me giggle because … Continue reading
