June in the Garden

Hello everyone!

I hope you are enjoying the warm summery weather.  We have been busy with so many projects that I haven't had much time for blogging. I really miss it. The schoolhouse is getting a new roof and we have a large fencing job in the making. All of which is wonderful and exciting, but our days are full. Our oldest daughter, Arabelle, is at 4H camp for the week. I am sure she will have a wonderful time. I miss her helping with the chicken chores. She has become such a wonderful help. 

My flower gardens have keep me busy. I have added many new iris, phlox, and Lily of the Valley. I am also still getting my annuals in the ground. We have peas, onions,kale, and lettuces galore in the veggie garden and Neal planted some corn. Other parts of our veggie garden still need a lot of work. Perhaps, it won't all get done this year.  In the meantime, I am loving all the flowers of June. The peonies are finished and the daylilies/clematis are starting to unfold. Summer colors are now taking the place of the pastel spring colors...

The Sweet Rocket and Iris were beautiful this year. I hope to share more photos soon.

I hope you are enjoying your week!

Happy Gardening!

March Rug

Hello everyone!

I have been busy working on my rug on a loom. This has been such a fun project as you can use old sheets to make a beautiful, functional rug.  This one ended up in my laundry room.  My daughters have put in their order for one, so I will be making another one with old crib sheets.

Below is my rug before coming off the loom...

The nearby Birch River is beautiful and March green...

Arabelle found some beaver activity. We also discovered that the geese are back. We have two that make an annual trip at nesting time. 

Spring is near!

Hope you are enjoying March!

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!

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.

Wishing you a wonderful start to your week!
