The sun peeked out a little from behind the clouds reflecting the daffodils on the kitchen table’s surface. That led me to play around with some inexpensive cellphone clip-on lenses. And since I enjoy looking at things up close, I thought I would mix it […]

Happy Black Friday!
Ominous skies are a given during our seemingly endless rainy season, which made me appreciate these bright red roses even more. I noticed them in the parking lot of my favorite grocery store the other day. Moments after I got back into my car, the […]
Happy Friday from my Fall Garden!
It’s been raining here non-stop for a day and a half. That has left the air smelling crisp and clean. The leaves are starting to turn color every where you look! Hopefully we’ll get a little sunshine next week so that I can go on […]
Happy Friday!
The last two mornings had a definite chill in the air. Fall is arriving! There’s even rain in the forecast. Much of my garden looks heat stressed, despite watering. This summer’s been extremely hot and dry for this area. Rain will be good, especially for […]
Happy Friday!
Poppies have always been a favorite flower of mine! Imagine my excitement when I noticed this bright patch of poppies growing in a field alongside the road in Jacksonville, Oregon. Lucky for me, there was also a spot where I could safely pull over and […]
Zunday Zen … The Cosmic Vista Point
Great conversation, food, wine. Gathering at the … cosmic vista point …. We recently visited a friend of ours who has one of the most beautiful woodland type gardens. The rhododendrons were spectacular, the California lilacs and woodland wildflowers in full bloom and don’t even […]
Happy Friday from my Garden!
During the past few weeks, I’ve been spending a lot of time in my garden: weeding, planting, pruning, spreading new mulch and of course sitting on the deck in the evening. The rainy winter can be forgiven and forgotten since we have been rewarded with […]
Happy Friday and Happy Mother’s Day!
Here’s to a happy weekend and a happy Mother’s Day! To me that also means celebrating all the special woman in our lives, who aren’t necessarily our own mothers. The women I admire the most is Rosalie. Her kindness, creativity, love of gardening and reading, patience, […]
Happy Friday!
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you probably noticed that I love flowers! As I look out my window, I see the forest behind us: tall native big-leaf maples are leafing out, the wild apple tree has a few white blossoms left […]
Happy Friday!
The sun finally came out yesterday, and it felt heavenly! I sat outside for a while soaking it all in. The atmosphere was buzzing with spring fever all around me. There were the usual birds visiting our yard in search of some seeds, a lone chipmunk […]
Happy Friday!
As far as I am concerned, spring might as well make an early appearance around here. We had mountains of snow, some ice and freezing rain, the coldest temperatures in a decade and lots and lots of rain. Needless to say, I am ready for spring! May […]
Happy Friday!
Hard to believe that 2016 is almost over! I won’t be going out on New Years Eve this year. How about you? Do you have any exciting plans to celebrate?
Happy Friday!
The weather report says that we might get a little snow here early next week. As long as it doesn’t stay around for more then a couple of days, I don’t mind. So in that spirit, enjoy the winter white flowers and your weekend.
Happy Friday!
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I will be relaxing and staying at home since I’ve never been a Black Friday shopper. Are you a Black Friday shopper?
Happy Friday!
Enjoy the weekend and spend some time in nature! I will go on a hike with my camera. What are your plans?
Happy Friday!
Have a great weekend! Hard to believe that it’s November already!
Happy Friday!
We’ve been lucky this week with the weather. Despite a lot of rain, we also had some sunshine. That felt really good! I hope you can catch a few sun beams too, wherever in the world you are!
