As some people may know Tennessee along with other states were hit hard with tornado’s. From my understanding Tennessee was hit the hardest. First and foremost my thoughts and prayers go out to the families of those who have lost loved ones and who have lost their homes. I want to share some things that I have been through this weekend. I work for a sheriff’s department in Tennessee that was not hit by a tornado but above and below us were hit. This the second time we have ...
I am trying to be organized with the gardening plans this year so I decided to put down what I wanted to do and when to start and all of the good things that I want to see happening in my gardens’/flowerbeds!! I am going to install my pond and try to do a moss garden around it.Then work on my marsh/bog at the west side. I got a lot of good ideas from GT: types of plants : vibernums columbine, to name a few. And then the straw bale option that I picked up on another blog, And so much more: my...
Feb 9/08 Our February Bonfire Breakfast was another success. My day began at 4:30 (just for the fun of it) and gathered all the cooking materials and got them ready to go out to the fire. Our typical meal includes bacon, eggs and toast but today I added something new. During on of the “road trips” that my sister-in-law and I were on (visiting antique stores) I bought a camping set which included a coffee pot, 4 dishes, and a stew pot. Well, today was the day to test them ...
Rick and I just spent a couple hours getting the gazebo ready for our monthly Bonfire Breakfast.We had to remove the remnants of the old tarp (well, we left some of it for added padding around the metal and edges). Then we put two old tarps over the top, overlapping in the middle. The weather channel says that the wind will be out of the south tomorrow morning so we overlapped the tarps in such a way that the wind hopefully won’t go swooping underneath and ripping them off. We als...

Feb. 7/08 I was headed upstairs to do some housework and out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of the sun glistening on the ice/snow covered trees. I quickly changed my plans (oh how hard it was to avoid housework) and grabbed my camera. These are (again) taken from my front door, looking out over my yard. Just thought I’d share my morning smile with you. (oh and in the centre bottom of the picture is a “rock” garden. The rock showed up in our la...
To the west of my house is a curved flower garden that is lined with cedar trees. At the south end of the trees I have several lilac bushes. Two years ago (or is it three, now) Rick and I built a few benches and one of them is sitting by my lilacs.Last year I transplanted a few lilac shoots, making a semi-circle around the bench, creating a little retreat area. Also, to the right of the bench in the photo, there is an angel statue nestled in under the branches of the lilacs. Behind the...
Speaking of slugs in an earlier forum I thought about our damp climate and all the slugs we have here. The biggest problem with slugs is the shaded areas. Anyway, I thought back to our first home when DH’s grandmother lived with us. One day while tending the veggies she told me she had a magic of sorts…That if she sang a song to a slug it would curl up and die..I laughed but then she proceeded to show me her magic trick. She leaned in close and wispered a chant to the ...
