Moonstruck

Well, I hadn't intended on posting til George asked me to

go see the full moon tonight.

Alone!

What's up with that?

I guess the romance is out the window this time of year!

ha!

That's ok it gave me a chance to attempt to photograph it.

Of course it looked nothing like these colors.

A little creative license.

I love seeing the greenhouses at night.

Like big glowing ...well whatevers????

I won't even tell you what George calls them:))

I wish I could take pictures of the moon like my friend Julie.

She never misses an opportunity to show us the full moon and her love of it.

La bella luna as she likes to call it.

I can't look at the moon now without think of her

.... and the movie

Moonstruck.

Well seems like I can't do a post without including a cat or two.

You've met Shaggy before. He's getting ready to take a little nap on one

of the numerous piles of row cover we seem to have to use during the spring.

It's going to get close to freezing tonight and tomorrow.

You may have noticed this in the background. I bought this on our trip to

Madison Bouckville with the girls last Fall.

and no I still haven't figured out what to really do with it.

Seems like it must have been electrified once but it'll have to go to a lamp guy to be done safely.

I sort of like just the way it is but maybe you have an idea?

Normally I wouldn't show you this sort of image with ugly boxes in the background but hey it's

"reality" and my sweet baby girl Brianna is in the picture.

She now is our oldest kitty. She's looks so sad in this picture.

We've been having problems getting her to eat and have

to sit with her twice a day to get her to eat anything.

The vet had to remove some teeth but her gums still bother her.

She's getting better so we're hopeful she'll be back to normal soon.

ok too sad...

need to change the subject!

the other reality is

yes... planting lots of cuttings.

That's getting better too

and we're almost done!

YAAAAA!!!!

Look at the roots on these guys! I think they really need planting!

Ok got to get back to work.

More to do!

One more thing.

Thank you for the kind comments in the

last month. I've been slow in getting back

to visit everyone.

You are always in my thoughts and in my heart!

Happy Spring!

Another beautiful day

Just wanted to say hi again.....sorry I've been absent in the blog world.

I've been in the weeds so to speak.

George took my camera the other day to get a picture of Charlotte.

Gee, you'd think she was our only cat the way we go on about her.

haha

Really I don't think our other kitties mind:))

So since the camera was out I took a minute to get a few shots.

Ok maybe more then a minute:))

Heuchera "Paris"

as close to Paris as I'll be seeing for awhile.

Heuchera is one of my favorite perennials. I have a tendency to want to order a ton

of them but for most customers they're not showy enough. Not enough "big fat flowers" like I call it.

Not that I don't like those either but you need to break it up, add textures and

even some great foliage plants just to make it interesting.

Now there's one of those biggens!

You can't help but notice this color.

One of the figs plants we saved over in the greenhouse. New variety that we hadn't had before.

Will have to see if it's as good as Black Jack or Brown turkey.

I can't remember the name now?

Miss Charlotte thinking it's cool to lay on my plugs.

Don't worry I moved her.
Look at that face....

it's like she's saying

" what? I can be here"

This is her being more angelic.

This is the one that George rushed in to get the camera for.

Priceless!

Spring ever changing

Just a quick note to say hi and to tell you how much I have missed all of you.

It's been over a week since my last post.

Easter day actually.

It seems so long ago and so much has happened.

These pictures are from that day. It was later in the afternoon by the time I

got around to remembering to take a picture of our weeping cherry.

The sun was just going down and the light had a certain soft grayish glow that the

camera picked up but my eyes did not.

Funny how that happens.

By the end of the week the blossoms were just a memory.

The heat we had,

though an unexpected delight did

shorten the life span of the flowers.

Happy I had taken the time to capture them in their prime.

Now my time at home and any spar time is also not what it was....

but the trade off is that I get to witness the birth of Spring and all that comes with it.

I am so lucky to work outside and get to see it ever changing.

Though I may not be able to go far these days.

A simple trip to the post office is an adventure! haha

I'm content to just staying put!
