Soft rain last night. Hoping this will scare away the dry air we have experienced. Gives all my hanging baskets an acid rain drink and they look so happy now. Sweet peas are sprouting up the trellis.Green as the smell of just mowed lawn. and tangled like some hair in a barbed wire fence. I have to...

I ordered one thousand paper white narcissus from a wholesale Dutch bulb company. They arrived friday after Thanksgiving. The bulbs are gifts in crystal bowls with sand that we put together over the weekend. I was thinking of how wonderful they smell. Hopefully they will be blooming in everyone's...

I'm headed to San Juan Capistrano this morning to the wholesale garden flower mart. I'm no retail outlet but some time ago they allowed me to show them my resale license and set up an account. I need some reds, golds and burnt fall colors for my front planters and hanging baskets. This place has...

Postman ringing
Someone is sending me a message today, please try and interpret for me. Early this morning Blackie the Anna's hummingbird that patrols the trumpet vines allowed two new females to drink from his flowers. He is usually so territorial that he dive bombs the cat when she walks near. Blackie ( I...

Odor from above
I can't see the house above me on the hill. All one can spy through the trees is an outdoor shower. The shower has a solar warming unit and seems like a great idea for a beachhouse I thought the skunks were back. Perhaps possums were up there I pondered. Some rotten odor was on that side of the...

Saturday morning dew on the impatiens. Impatiens appear pinky pastel crayons but they are hardy reseeding football players in my Zone. The fun in impatiens is the poppers. The seed pod is like a New Years surprise all wrapped in spiral lime. Cup your hand around the life force gently. If you move...

The worms need some coffee
I had six days worth of coffee and eggshells creating a science experiment about mold on the kitchen counter. No worry the neat freak has not lost her mind, it's all in a sealed container.

Snail hunt
Snails are my enemy. Last night after the rainstorm, we put on our mud boots and carry the flashlights out into the garden. I don't like to use poison because of my animals so for the weak of stomach you better click on. The children love a good snail hunt ( we also target slugs). There is hot coco...

for RachelAnna's Halloween Contest
I bought the witch house in the neighborhood. A black house in the same culdesac as my sister's home. The front yard had rows of dead topiaries. The bushes stood out front like goulish soldiers. Spiderwebs held together the rotten gate. No child dared to knock on the door ( the bell long ago was...
