Rug on a Loom

Hello everyone!

It has been a cold, snowy day here. The perfect day to start on my rug on a loom. This is such a fun project for anyone who likes to take rags and turn them into something beautiful. I will be excited to complete this project, so I  can start on another rug with different rags. A home in the country needs lots of rugs (and rags)!

My amaryllis is starting to bloom in the sun room! I will be happy to get some good pictures of it with my good camera when it blooms...

My geraniums are starting to wake up again...

Such a beautiful sky this evening...

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks for visiting!

February Beauty!

Hello everyone! 

I hope you are having a wonderful week! I just had to share with you what I have found in the garden...

Crocuses, snowdrops, and Winter Aconite are beginning to show up!

Isn't it exciting watching everything start to wake up?!

Happy Gardening!

From the Garden

Hello everyone!

I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's weekend. I am sharing some garden photos again today as I am having technical difficulties getting new pictures off my camera. Hopefully, my husband can help me with this soon. 

This past weekend we enjoyed a trip to Roanoke, Virginia to see Wilco in concert. We took my niece with us and she seemed to love the music. This was my seventh Wilco concert, and I do believe they keep getting better. If you haven't heard of Wilco, I would highly recommend looking them up. You won't regret it!

We have had lots of snow and ice here, so it is nice to look back on the garden...

Hostas are so easy to grow in the shade! 

Here is a Spring bouquet for you. After all, it won't be long! I am ready to pick from my garden instead of the super market.

Birch River in Winter

Hello everyone! 

I hope you are having a wonderful week and staying warm! 

It has been cold here. I have enjoyed the ice-covered Birch River and Wolfpen Run below our home. 

The old punch mines below our house are decorated with icicles..

Remember, Love is all you need!

Happy Friday to you!

Purples in the Garden

Hello everyone!

It has been a snowy day here, so I guess we will have more winter after all.  We went out to eat this evening and the roads were slick and icy on the way home.  I do love snow, but not driving in it. 

I thought I would share some garden purples with you. It is nice to dream of green when it is cozy inside and cold outside. Although, I do love snow!

Looking Back- Peonies in the Garden

Hello everyone!

I thought I would share some peony pictures from my garden with you.  I have many varieties. However, I have many more I would love to add to my garden.

 Do you have a favorite variety of peony?

I love that they are easy to divide and deer proof!

"Life isn't long enough to do all you could accomplish. And what a privilege even to be alive. In spite of all the pollutions and horrors, how beautiful this world is. Supposing you only saw the stars once a year. Think what you would think. The wonder of it!"

--Tasha Tudor

 Potatoes, corn, and peonies...

Wishing you a wonderful start to your week!
