A CHARMING GARDEN HOUSE

 My friend Ginny has a wonderfully charming Garden House.

                                                                                       

She is getting everything organized, pegboard for hanging garden tools,

shelving to hold baskets of vases organized by size; there is an area for Christmas & Easter decoration storage and a counter for potting & flower arranging, upon which Ginny is creating a ceramic mosaic of the 4 seasons.

                                                                                                              

What I love most about it however, are the scenes she had her friends paint on the walls.

                                                                                                   

                                                                                                      

                                                                                                         Ginny paints too, her wall below…

                                                                                                  Can’t wait to make my small contribution .

A note to my readers: the blog GARDEN PHOTO OF THE DAY written by Martha Tate will reappear shortly. Her domain name was accidentally dropped and taken by another blogger. I will post her new link as soon as it is available.

CATCHING UP…

Where does the time go? It’s been a while since my last post.. So lets catch up……

Remember those  little tomato plants???   What they look like today…

Ripe tomatoes, blueberries, and some papery hydrangea blossoms in the kitchen.

Blueberries go immediately into the freezer on a cookie sheet then into plastic bags for…you got it…the winter

Drying hydrangeas..(.we hope) for a wreath and some topiaries for the dinning room.

Keeps the garden inside for the winter,,,did I say winter??? already? Started some preserves…..

Pear harvest…..

Pears & raisins in brandy….

                                                                                                             

Lunch…… Tomato Salad & Pesto Mayonnaise.

That’s where my time goes
