Our Flower Gardens #32: Lost in the Wild!
July 2/09 A couple of my flower garden areas have been on my list for a few years to “do something with”. But, as time goes by, they never seem to get to the top of my priority list. Ok, let’s be honest, I just dread tackling these weed patches! But, with the August 15th GT Picnic fast approaching I thought I’d better start making the areas presentable at the very least. So, today, with work boots on, to keep my feet dry I hiked into the depths of the untouched w...
wedding #1: For a better wedding
Wedding date comes near at hand. Choosing wedding dresses has been submitted to schedule and also becomes a big tough task for me. My friends tell me the following three styles are fashion now. I have to made comparison among them. Simple Style： Simple design could build up to the special character of ladies. However how to emphasize on the merits and avoid demerits is a tough point with simple designs in the international fashion industry. The excellent pruning and material are the bes...
My new Adventure #3: The Killing Spree Continues And Oh My ,Now An Orchard!!!!!!!!!!
Well the idea of replacing all the soil in the front flowerbeds proved to be to costly, and my cooking did not kill off the weeds and 4 o’clocks as my husband and son proclaimed would work. I am still working on removing and killing the roots in the beds while I await the bulbs to arrive to be planted ,while we have yet another venture added to our flower garden. We have decided to remove all our trees in the front yard and replace them with fruit trees. I have already ordered a banana...
Recipes from the Garden #2: Sage Jelly
I was watching my sage flower, despite the thunderstorms we had today, and think it’s time I make a few jars of sage jelly. It’s fantastic to serve at thanksgiving as an alternative to gravy. If the sentence “alternative to gravy” gets you upset (who could replace gravy???) then it’s a great side enhancement. This works for me: Pick and wash 2 cups of sage leaves. Also pick a couple of flowers. Rinse/wash in case the neighbourhood cat visited your garde...

Beauty of Trinidad
I went to Trinidad a couple of weeks ago, to help missionary friends with their ministry. We did a lot of walking, and I was able to spot some beautiful orchids growing naturally outside, cashew trees (!), and other beauties. I hope to share some pics soon. The flower gardens continue to thrive. My daughter had the job of keeping all my indoor and outdoor plants watered while I was away…luckily for her, it rained almost everyday so she didn’t have to be concerned with the outdo...
Oriole and Grape jelly
I often visit a bird-watching site on the internet. The folks there talked about how much grape jelly the orioles were eating at their feeding stations. So I decided to try it here last year. As far as I could tell no oriole seemed interested. But this year what a different story! The orioles have gone through 3 jars of Grape jelly so far, dished out in portions of 3 tablespoons morning and night. When they come to the dish the jelly is suppose to be in, if it’s empty, what a fuss...
