Celebrations occur among the most unlikely of us!
Never a Christmas morning,
Never an old year's end,
But some one thinks of someone,
Old days, Old times, Old friends!
Wishing everyone peaceful and prosperous 2026!
As always, stay strong, and thanks for stopping by..................*s*
This morning on what promises to be another cold, dreary December day, when I went out to feed the birds, these morning glories were blooming away in their pot by the door. With all the sadness and horrors of the past days it gives me such a sense of hope to see that flowers go on blooming and spreading small moments of joy.
Say safe and strong in these troubled times. Thanks for stopping by.............*s*
It's snowing in a rather half-hearted way. It's what my mother, and thus I, called a 'sugar snow' because it looks like a ton of icing sugar had been dumped on the world.
It's. pretty to look at, but I am oh-so-glad I don't have to go out in it today.
Probably everyone has read, heard of the shooting in Providence at Brown University. I am having a lot of trouble thinking that this could happen in an area I once lived in. Right now I cannot say more. We live about forty miles south, so are not in any danger.
My heart is with students and their loved ones.
As always, stay safe, and thanks for stopping by...............*s*
These very small Dwarf Alberta Spruce were on sale at our local market. I purchased two and decided that it is not too early for a few decorations. I have them in the sunroom where I have my winter studio, May even buy a few more lights for them.
I will need to find a cool spot to winter over after the holidays.
The dragons have been gathering. I think they may arrive soon.
Good yule to all. As always thanks for stopping by.............*s*
Yes! It's supposed to be hares and bunnies, but the Santas are gathering to shout HARES AND RABBITS. and all good wishes for a joyous and peaceful December!
As always, stay strong, and thanks for stopping by............*s*
I have been taking the time to bring in plants that I want to overwinter. I have given them a good spray of insecticide .....actually castille soap which works very well against small bugs and such. The shades of pink are various petunias with a few impatience for good measure. The whites are mandevilla. I used to winter them very successfully. And yes that is a morning-glory happily blooming. It has many buds, which I hope, toes crossed, will continue to bloom.
There are still a few to bring in, some scabiosa(beautiful flow with a gross name) in blue, a few more petunias, and amaryllis. The amaryllis may or may not bloom. I rescued them a couple of years ago. They are putting out green, but so far only leaves. I keep them well sprayed with a lemon-pepper solution which the cats hate. I spray most of my plants with this as I am not thrilled with chewed plants. Waking up with a cat dragging a frond of asparagus fern across your face is not fun. I am considering small pots of catnip and cat grass to keep them happy.
We'll see grasshopper............we'll see.........
Sty strong and as always, thanks for stopping by.........VOTE!...........*s*
