One of my favorite and most relaxing times is spent in the gardens, walking down the pathways in the early morning hours. The sun is barely up as I begin; dampness from the night still lingers in the air. The leaves of trees and flowers glisten with morning dew. Even though I took the same walk late the evening before, I always find something new along the paths. A beautiful flower may be blooming today, and only today. If I had chosen to not take the walk, I would have missed it!

Part 2 of the Baby Birds 2015 at Spring Meadows. The baby bird eggs have hatched and it is so exciting to watch them grow! There is a lot more movement in the nest and I am beginning to see their little bodies taking shape. The nest is located in a fern hanging on my front porch. The mama bird is very gracious to let me water the fern as long as I as I am careful to not disturb the nest!

Fruits in the Garden, GARDENING
This past week, we finally picked our first delicious strawberries! I wish I could take you with me into the strawberry patch, let you smell the wonderful scent that fills the air surrounding the patch and then enjoy the refreshing flavor of freshly picked home grown strawberries!
Garden Pond, GARDENING
A Garden Pond is a wonderful place to relax anytime of the day or night! We built our pond in 2001, then moved it to its current location in 2013 and offered the fish more room to swim! Perennials and shrubs such as Loropetalum, roses and hydrangeas surround the pond. A filtering system makes maintenance a breeze.

Have you ever noticed the shiny, metallic material coating the inside of your snack bag? One of my favorite snacks is popcorn! And, if I buy the pre-popped, then it most definitely will be Skinny Pop. Recently, as I was folding a bag from the inside out in order to get to the bottom, it occurred to me that the “silver lining” was just what was needed for the fruit trees!

Annuals, GARDENING
This beautiful vine showed up in one of our flower gardens a couple of years ago. After researching, I discovered it is in the Morning Glory family. Often called the Hummingbird Flower, I soon discovered why! The hummingbirds love it as well as the bees and butterflies. Read more…
