I Love Roses

August 21, 2023

At my old house, I grew numerous roses in the garden. They have been one of my favourite flowers. However, where we live now, they don’t survive. This area is known as a ‘frost pocket’ by the local farmers, and the roses rot in the damp cold during the winter. So although I have planted…

My Garden

August 18, 2023

The garden is strange this year. ( I always say that, but it seems different every year. ) This year the tomatoes are ripening much earlier. Usually I harvest most of them in the fall when they are still green and put them under my bed to ripen. This year, most of them are ripe…

Second colour of Spring

May 25, 2023

I know yellow was my first colour here, but pink is now overtaking it. It’s still spring, right? Not summer yet. This is the Japanese tree peony in my garden. It blooms way before the regular peonies. The heather is covered with tiny pink flowers. My crabapple tree is in full bloom. Luckily we spotted…

Nothing like returning home from a visit to Hawaii and finding a snow storm in your front yard. Bit of a shock.

Hawaii

February 19, 2023

Just returned from a trip to Maui. It is so beautiful there. We stayed for three weeks, the first two weeks with our daughter and two grandsons with us, ages 8 and 5. Unfortunately, most of the dumping rain happened while they were there. But once it eased up we began to see clouds and…
