You can tell it is fall and we are far behind on the firewood, because we went out after work again to pick at it. But we were sitting in the gazebo with a glass of wine, and started to feel guilty, so what the heck. Frank might as well use at least one tank

It’s stress relief to get out in the garden, even if just for an hour, after work in the evenings. This year has been so wet, though, that mostly tonight we got out there because the lawn was long enough to cut as hay, and it was finally dry enough to mow. All of the fall flowers are in full bloom right now, and looking quite lovely. I need more of them, though. I’m mostly green, with a few splashes of pinks and yellows here and there. Oh, and some purples as well, with the asters and obedient plants. We haven’t had a freeze yet this year, so the window boxes are still in fine form as well. The leaves on the trees are getting more and more color. I think we’re still two weeks from peak color, though.

I’ve been out of town for over a week, and I’ve missed my garden so much. As soon as I got home, Princess, Yoda and I went out to see how it was doing without me, and to see what’s in bloom at this point. I was out in Sacramento and San Francisco where it

We went out driving today, because it’s been so rainy that there’s no way to actually work out in the garden because it’s far too wet. So instead, we stopped by one of the nurseries (Morning Star Farm) in the area that we went to for the first time last year, and again, we weren’t

Frank and I spent the week in Philadelphia this week, leaving the garden to fend for itself. While we were gone, summer arrived with a heat-wave, hitting the mid-90s, which is pretty rare for New Hampshire. Of course, because that’s the way things work in our world, Frank had been fiddling with the irrigation before

Fall is officially here. The air is decidedly nippy tonight. I thought we might actually be in for the first freeze of the year, but I guess my blood just hasn’t thickened up yet. But so many of the fall plants are out in full force in the garden. The burning bushes are almost at

We need to name our pond something like Heron’s Hang-out or Marlow’s Frog Bar or something. We’re down to three fish left, from the eight we started the year with. Poor things. The frogs seem to be hanging in there, but several times I’ve found wading birds of different flavors in the edges of the

I’m back from my first business trip after my surgery, which was exhausting, but I at least went outside and took a ton of pictures, did a little weeding. Lots of dead-heading. We still have quite a few late summer flowers, though the trees are starting to change. The burning bushes are at peak, I

The month of May is flying by, and we are full of may flies as well. I am so bug bitten after spending the day out there yesterday, even in the bug suit, darnit. Have many bites on my fingers, which are all swollen up now. We saw some critters in the pond for the
