This week was even more difficult to come up with a bouquet for than last week and while there is a lot of great foliage I could have tried to make something out of, I thought that might be cheating a little since last weekend was really all about foliage. By the way, last weekend’s bouquet is still going strong, ...
I think there are few things better than an insanely productive spring weekend. As I mentioned on Friday, this was a weekend for me to just kick it in the garden. And kick it I did. I got up and out there early both days and just kept pushing it. I got the largest garden (the “original” one off the ...
Ha! A second post on a Friday. That pretty much never happens here. Still, I thought I’d just do a little catch up on random goings-on and a bit of talk about the weekend.
