So this year I’ve seem to develop the habit of starting projects, but not finishing them. So not like me… so to remedy this situation before they get so old, they just need to be frogged, I’ve decided to put the needles in action and get two projects done. Here is a lovely little slug [...]

The phlox is very happy this year. I’m not sure what I’m doing or what I’m not doing, but carry on phlox. You’re looking gorgeous. Yesterday, we got out early and worked in the garden. I have a love/hate relationship with gardening. I love it to look nice, but don’t care for the actual work that is involved. It doesn’t help that I’m terribly allergic and by yesterday evening on the Benadryl. I woke up today still covered in hives. [...] So it’s no secret that I love gardens. I just seem to have trouble working in my own. The rose garden at the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House were spectacular and here are some of my favorites. If you didn’t know – I’m a bug lover. Bugs, butterflies, frogs, toads, I’ve even picked up the occasional garden snake in the garden. I used to feed the birds, but between the Coopers Hawks and the Eagles – they made me nervous to let Coco out. Anyhoo, I noticed on Friday that there was [...] When DH and I moved in almost 5 years ago we loved the gardens here at Chez Purl. However, we found them to be much too intensive for our gardening ability. Imagine how relieved I felt when I scored the number to a reliable gardener from a friend recently.

I think I have a secret green thumb, because I’ve never had so many blooms. They came out a gorgeous pink that match my new gorgeous Pink Lamy [...] This year’s garden is looking good. I’m thinking we’re going to be having a good crop this year. As soon as the peppers pick up, it may be perfect. Here’s is my zucchini cucumber plants. Also my tomato plants. I finished La Novia last night. This is going to be one of those really warm, snuggly scarf. Just needs a good blocking now and it’s going to take a little while to pin it all out right. I think it will be worth it as it will open the pattern up. So last night [...] The bunnies have made their public debut in my garden. So far, I can only see two, but I think there may be more. I hope so because I thought I saw at least 3 little pink bodies when they were born. However, it could’ve only been two. This is bunny two. All of the [...]  |
