<br />
Over the past few years, blogger and google have made it increasingly more difficult to do this. Their site is not user friendly in the least, and there have been many hours of frustration just figuring out how to do anything.<br />
<br />
I originally started these blogs to chronicle my knitting and the progress of our house building, and they've served that purpose well. When I first started them, blogging was all the thing to do and places like ravelry and facebook just didn't exist. Now they do.<br />
<br />
I really love ravelry, and I like the instant gratification that facebook gives me. Not to mention it's much easier to quickly post a thought or a pic.<br />
<br />
So, I'll be moving on from here. If you're already my friend on facebook, well, there ya are. If not, most of my stuff is public anyway. I never post politics or anything controversial, there's enough folks out there that do that already. I promise you'll see cats, dogs, gardening, mosaics, crafting and glass. Because, well, that's what I like.<br />
<br />
So, come on over and join me on facebook......I've made a blog page there. <br />Feel free to "like" it so that you can see my creations.<br />

Love my hellebores....this is just the beginning. There are some really cool ones out there, and some really cool black ones out there. I'm always on the lookout for more really cool ones. You can just not have too many hellebores.<br />
<br />
The seed catalogs have started to arrive too. I've been busy watching it rain and making my wishlist on pinterest with my 2016 goals in mind.....cool stuff, fragrant, reblooming, and rare, ought to be fun this year. <br />
<br />
In crafting news, we've become the home for wayward bowling balls. My sister delivered 3 last week, with one more left in her attic. Not sure what I'm going to do with them all, but I'll think of something.<br />

<br />
A couple of months ago, I joined a mosaic group on facebook. Little did I know, it would change my mosaic outlook altogether. I have learned SO much from this talented group of people, and my mad nipping skills have gotten 1000 percent better. (since I never did it before). It has helped me cut glass more accurately and precisely, and I have a boatload of projects in mind right now.<br />
<br />
The most current one is the hummingbird bubbler/ fountain.....I worked on it a bit this week because it was raining, and I'll probably do some more today too. I find that mosaics are best done in "bits". Work on it for a while, step away, let it simmer, work on it some more. Gives a good perspective.<br />

When this is done, it will go out in the "to be grouted" collection. I'll do a bunch of things one of these days. Grouting is a messy, time-consuming project, so it's best done it batches.</div>

<br />
I've bought some martagon and oriental lilies to be delivered this spring, and it gave me a serious case of spring fever, already. Also spent some time on pinterest making my wishlist, which included a list of irises I already have. That took a while. I didn't realize I have so many irises already.<br />
<br />
For 2016. the plan is to be discriminating.....In the past, it was all about filling the space, and that has worked well. For the next phase, it'll be about the cool stuff. Wishlist stuff that might be a bit more expensive (so there will be less of it), but cooler.....more fragrance, more distinctive and rare, more reblooming. <br />
<br />
We've done pretty well with projects this year, but there's a few that are still left. Yesterday, we took advantage of a black Friday sale to buy some solar panels. The idea is to use the solar panels to power a pump, which will pump the water out of the cistern (already installed), to water the garden. We'll also install drip irrigation in the raised beds and worm towers too.<br />
<br />
I'd like to get my chicken coop going again in 2016, and also put in a Japanese shade garden over by the bamboo. It's good to have a goal.<br />
<br />
Since the ground is frozen, and there's not much gardening to be done, I'll be spending the rest of the winter dreaming of daylilies and doing mosaics. I have 3 bowling balls ready to go, one that will be a hummingbird fountain, a cute bumblebee needing to be done, and whatever I find at the goodwill that strikes my fancy. I want to make a multi layered pond scene too......<br />
<br />
There's a birdbath and an owl that need to be grouted. I'm saving that project for a warmer day, and I'll grout a bunch of things all at once. Now I just need to make them.<br />

I've been working on my wishlist for next year. The plan is to be more focused on what I buy, not just any old plant, but some really cool ones, with focus on rebloomers and fragrance. I'm making a wishlist on pinterest and checking it twice!<br />
<br />
In the meantime......some of the daylilies are still going....I just planted these in august, so I'm excited to see what they look like. I don't think they're rebloomers, just confused.<br />

Last weekend, I made a major score for my winter projects. A gal named Claudia was selling a bunch of stained glass and tools. I made her an offer, and came home with a TON of glass, a new grinder, and some other misc stuff. Sold the glass I couldn't use and a couple of tools that were duplicates (more money for glass), and spent a rainy Saturday making this.....<br />

Bought that birdbath at a yard sale for $10 this summer. It's not quite done yet, needs a background, but the weather's supposed to be nice today, so, it's outside to weed for me!</div>

I'll finish it the next time it rains. (soon)</div>

It's been inspired by the recent rain, and things are enjoying a second life.<br />
<br />
Some of the daylilies I planted in august are already blooming. They say you're supposed to cut off these late blooms, but I just can't. I just have to see what they look like before they go to bed for the winter. I can already hardly wait for next spring.<br />

It started raining last week and has pretty much kept going since then. That's ok. <br />
<br />
There have been a couple of good clearance rack buys......some Echinacea (green envy), a honeyberry, and a nice itoh peony that was half price. (still expensive). They're all planted and getting a drink this morning.<br />
<br />
There are still some daylilies blooming. Some of them are new, having been planted only a month ago. They're pretty cool, so I hope they make it through the winter. I can hardly wait to see what they do next year.<br />

Speaking of next year......I've been thinking about the direction to take the garden next season....The last couple of years have been about filling up the space, which I've managed to do pretty well. I've gotten practically free plants because they were a mystery and literally picked up some free ones off a sidewalk. Next year, the theme will be quality. I'll be looking for things on my wishlist, and maybe spending a bit more on individual plants, but buying fewer. I can also weed out some of the freebies that have multiplied, and trade them for others. The theme will be "the cooler, the better".<br />
<br />
Off to get that list started!squiggihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11096860408091196518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359790035644079732.post-41237556991733664272015-08-16T09:34:00.000-07:002015-08-16T09:34:24.146-07:00too hot to careIt's been pretty miserable hot here, except for last Friday which was a day long thunderstorm, when it finally rained......<br />
<br />
Not much gardening happening, although the chips are FINALLY all done. (is it bad that I want more now?) I'll be moving on to the weeding I've been ignoring, thankyouverymuch><br />
<br />
It's amazing what a little rain will do for things.<br />

It's supposed to rain today, although not nearly enough, and then by the end of the week, be back to 90. Enough already!!!<br />
<br />
The garden is looking pretty baked, even the most tolerant things are tired. (me too!).<br />
<br />
I did manage to shovel some more cedar chips and get pretty caught up on planting. the good news is, the clearance rack is full. All those poor little babies they've baked over the last couple of weeks. Nothing some water and a little care won't fix (unless they're just plain crispy). There's also a nursery going out of business for the season, so I had to pick up a couple of things there too...<br />
<br />
New this week.....some $1 daylilies from lowes, a half price rose, a couple of Siberian iris, and a coneflower I just couldn't resist. I mean, who could??<br />
<br />

I also got a great order from Maryotts daylilies (happy birthday to me), and some new iris too. There's 2 more iris orders yet to come. (they were done in February), and, well, who knows??<br />
<br />
I'll leave with some fancy Echinacea blooming now....gotta love 'em<br />

<br />
The heat wave has FINALLY broken and it's much cooler~ YEAH!!<br />
We just don't do hot well here at all......<br />
<br />
I was able to get caught up with my planting yesterday. Just a couple left that need homes. The clearance rack had been good to me this week, 5 peonies, 3 clematis and a couple of other goodies from the big box chain. ( I've been watching those peonies for a while) The markdowns are really kicking in now because they can't keep things alive in the heat. Love it!<br />
<br />
We also took on an art project.......<br />
Last week, I bought this trampoline frame from craigslist for $25.<br />

<br />
We beat it up, and bent it...<br />

Today, we're scrubbing and painting (if it doesn't rain).....soon, finish project installed. Trust me, it's gonna be cool.<br />
<br />
I'll leave you with some pics.....my "edith bogue" magnolia is blooming......Many, many years ago I went on a search for this one. It took a LONG time to find it, but I was SO worth it.....The flowers are about 12" across, and smell like lemons.<br />

It's been very hot here lately, over 90, and it's not supposed to stop for a while. I'm afraid my water bill will need to be financed. I can't let all my babies bake, ya know.<br />

In happy news, the iris guy is back! I can now continue my obsession.....this week, he had some SDB's, and of course, they had to come home with me.....<br />

This week brought a score from the clearance rack.....some Hula strawberries. They're supposed to taste like pineapple.....we'll see. There were also a couple of coreopsis and a new peony. I'm also eying a couple of peonies over at the blue box. They'll be in the rack soon.....come here my pretties.....<br />
<br />
Today, we're re staining the deck and getting the last step ready for summer. <br />
<br />

Speaking of peonies.......they're coming on strong right now. Love the peonies!<br />

<br />
The irises and peonies are going strong and the garden is filling in beautifully.<br />
<br />
The clearance rack at the farmer's market has yielded some peonies and a daylily.<br />
I also decided to try growing horseradish.<br />
<br />
There would be pics, but blogger hates me today.<br />
This may be the end of this blog. It just gets harder to post every time and facebook is much friendlier.<br />

That's done now, and I'm on to bigger and better things.....(like catching up with the weeding!)<br />
<br />
I celebrated finishing by going to the rhody species sale yesterday. That's always been a fun one with lots of different things. I managed to acquire 5 new daylilies, a black penstomen, a cute perennial geranium, and a little arum called "dragon tail".<br />
They're all in the ground and ready to grow.<br />
<br />
The irises have been going crazy here. SDB's first.....<br />

<br />
I did get out a bit, though.......planted a nice elderberry, some more Costco peonies, a couple of red trilliums, and a white peony tree from lowes.<br />
<br />
We also bought another load of dirt to top off the garden boxes and some stepping stones to finish this garden area.....<br />

I think it turned out pretty nice and added another dimension to the yard....next up, getting that fountain going again. The area around the fountain is going to be my black garden. There's already some black irises there, and I'll be adding more later in the season.<br />
<br />
We need about 6 more rocks. Three to break up for around the barrel pond, and three to go out to the bird feeder.<br />
<br />
Speaking of the bird feeder, the last couple of days, there's been a really cute hairy woodpecker hanging around the suet. No pics yet, but I'll catch him soon. He'll definitely be back.<br />
<br />
This week, more weed pulling, some pond plants, and who knows what else.....the clearance racks are starting to show some action......it's a treasure hunt!!squiggihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11096860408091196518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359790035644079732.post-61437884440514628262015-02-22T08:15:00.000-08:002015-02-22T08:16:12.808-08:00it's been a pretty mild winterso far.....this morning, It's about 28 degrees and frosty. Hopefully, all the little confused plants aren't shivering their roots off.<br />
<br />
Pretty quiet here this week. The weather was a bit rainy, so not much going on outside at the first of the week, and miss doggie had some surgery on Thursday, so not much going on at the end of the week except doggie babysitting. I did work on some glass, and managed to finish one bowling ball and completely design and finish a second. I'll probably be grouting today and also doing a couple of stepping stones I have ready to go. (I need the molds for something else)<br />
<br />
The only two new plants this week were a couple of daylilies and peonies from Costco. (gotta take advantage of that while I can) They have some great deals on stuff. It's pretty mainstream, but you can't beat a peony for less than $5. They'll look great in a couple of years. Last year, the daylilies that I got there bloomed in their first season, so.......<br />
<br />
I also placed a couple of iris orders for later in the summer. I've decided that the iris "theme" will be blues/purples, blacks and whites, not a big fan of the pastels. You can't believe how many black irises there actually are, which makes my little black plant loving heart go pitter pat.<br />
<br />
We also got the potato bin filled and planted, and I have onions and peas to plant now too. The daffs and hellebores are going crazy, and the peonies are growing by leaps and bounds, thanks to the nice weather. Lets hope we don't have a winter throwback now!<br />

Yesterday it was nearly 60 degrees and sunny...<br />
Why haven't I posted lately? I've been outside gardening, of course!! (and going to the flower show)<br />
<br />
Speaking of the flower show, I made quite a haul......lots of oriental lilies, 3 new oriental poppies, and a black iris. All planted in their new homes, thanks to the good weather.<br />
<br />
I've also added some peonies and a couple of daylilies (thanks Costco!), a double decker Echinacea (also Costco), a dwarf frost peach tree, a gogi berry, some currants, and possibly some gooseberries today.<br />
<br />
The weather is supposed to hold out for at least another week, and I'll be home with a doggie that has stitches, so I'm sure I'll get some more done.....either in the yard, or with my glass.<br />

You just gotta love this time of year, the plants are going crazy.....<br />
<br />
We also got a couple of loads of dirt to fill the potato bin and the squash boxes.<br />

We'll be wrapping that up today.<br />
<br />
Now I just need to make my garden wish list for projects to do this summer and keep up with the planting.....not much. At least we don't have any more big projects like building fencing and the like. They're all small, like building trellises, fixing the grape arbor and refining the planting plan. This is the fun part.squiggihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11096860408091196518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359790035644079732.post-56442066567008364002015-01-25T08:57:00.000-08:002015-01-25T08:57:51.147-08:00another yard sale score!!Or two....the biggest one is this nice concrete bench I scored yesterday for $10. Fits perfectly in the arbor and it's just what it needed.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I also scored two old flower frogs that are kind of different. One is a pottery style and looks like a little basket and the other is clear cut crystal and is a bowl style on the bottom with the frog on the top. Both are pretty unusual, since you rarely see all the pieces all together.<br />
<br />
I got my flower show tickets this week too, which only inspired my spring fever to really take hold. I'm making my wish list right now. The last couple of years have been hard for flower show purchases because I wasn't quite sure where it would to. I know now! <br />
<br />
It's supposed to be nearly 60 degrees here for the next two days, so, right after I'm done with this post, I'll be outside digging.<br />
<br />
p.s. seen in Costco this week, bare root trees and some nice 2 gallon hellebores (one of which followed me home)<br />

Last week, there were a couple of beautiful days, sunny, not cold, dry.....that didn't help the fever any.<br />
I was able to get out front and clean up pretty well.<br />

I chopped down the grasses, pulled weeds, raked up leaves, and put the greenhouse back together.<br />
It's amazing to see all the little shoots out there, and the daffodils, tulips and crocus are working it.<br />
<br />
In the back, the hellebores are going wild.<br />

Gotta love those hellebores.<br />
Speaking of which, I got a couple of new ones this week.......one called "white pearl", a nice double, and another called "jade star". Who wouldn't love a flower that's black on the outside and green on the inside? It needs some TLC, but hellebores are tough, and you can't kill them even if you try.<br />
<br />
Next week.....the fever continues! Costco said they would start getting some spring stuff after their inventory this weekend, and I've already seen some bare root in other stores. YAHOO!!<br />

<br />

Dragonfly on a bowling ball.....I've got the bowling ball itch now, so there WILL be more. Just need to find the bowling balls.<br />
<br />
I also have 3 stepping stones ready to pour, just waiting for it to get a bit warmer......<br />

This week, finishing the dragonfly, cruising the rack, drooling on seed catalogs.......good times~<br />

Not helping with my spring fever, though. <br />
<br />
I've been surfing the plant websites already, making my list and checking it twice. The last couple of years have been about filling up the space. This year is the year of cool. I'm looking for fragrant and reblooming varieties of things, and the cool and unusual. We'll see how that goes. I totally miss cruising the local clearance racks, though, and most of the nurseries around here are closed between Christmas and new years. BAH!<br />
<br />
Watching the hummingbirds.....<br />

<br />
This week there was a clearance rack score.....a HUGE itoh peony, regularly $68 for half price. Had to have it, and it's already nestled in it's new home. I'll be headed back to that clearance sale because I saw a BUNCH of things I wanted.....maybe that's what gave me the fever.<br />
<br />
The seed catalogs are starting to pile up too......not helping at all.<br />
<br />
So, the project after Christmas is to build the small raised bed boxes for next spring and a nice one for potatoes. As much as we've tried (and had success before), the potatoes in the garbage can thing just isn't working.<br />
<br />
Y'all have a great Christmas.....I'll be here drooling over seed catalogs and wishing for the flower show!squiggihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11096860408091196518noreply@blogger.com0
