I don’t normally get around to this decorating thing until way later in the game, but this year is different. I wanted it to be done early, because a few days from now, kid number 1 who left us to move to 🇸🇪 is coming back for #christmas . We’re all excited - he’s been missed!! 😃 #christmastree #christmasdecor #decoratingforchristmas #lotsoflights #caturday #lotsofgnomes #christmasgoat #kidcominghome#teasel #seedheads make are fun to include in #holidaywreaths . Those #curlicues are so old world - they remind me of turn-of-the-century ice skates.How’s this for an adorable #cookiejar ? We made her acquaintance yesterday, at our friends’ @mariatdinocencio house. Thanks again for wonderful traditions with wonderful friends! 🥰🍁🦃😊❤️🍁Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. We’re off to celebrate with good friends, which makes it very easy on us, with minimal cooking. Cooked up a #tablearrangement instead. Many thanks to kind neighbors for providing the berries. #fallarrangement #thanksgivingIsn’t this some of the most #fantasticfoliage you’ve ever seen? I absolutely love it! Purchased from @cistusnursery earlier this year, it only has a handful of leaves. I’m severely tempted to harvest a few for a Thanksgiving arrangement. They arr so cool - they would totally steal the show. I think this one is called #aspidistratonkanensisspotty . Aptly named, don’t you agree?Some backyard foliage drama this afternoon. I know it was stupid to plant anything with the word ’Giant’ in its name in such a small yard, but I really, really like those black leaves. And with a backdrop of #jasminumfionasunrise it looks even better. Dr Hill wasn’t the only Fiona to brighten my life this week! #pittosporumebonygiant #mybackyard #mygarden #myurbanjungle

Foliage Follow-Up Day – January 2018
The biggest news from my garden this month is that I – FINALLY – took the time to thin out my black bamboo. Wow – should’ve done that years ago… It looks so much better now… So, that is the … Continue reading

Foliage followup day – December 2017
It looks like our long stretch of sun and cold winds might have ended. Lucky me – I managed to get a decent, sun-drenched shot of one of my perennial infatuations. I apologize for constantly posting shots of Melianthus major, … Continue reading

Foliage Follow-Up Day – November 2017
Today was a much better day for outdoor photography than yesterday. Sure, it’s still wet, but it’s nowhere near the kind of deluges we had then. Not a whole lot to see out there right now. Parts of the yard … Continue reading

Blooms and foliage – August 2017
This has been a terrible summer for me, in terms of keeping up on blog memes – I have missed several months worth… Once (or was it twice?), I even missed my own, and had to play catch-up later in … Continue reading

Foliage Follow-up and belated Bloom Day – March 2017
Apparently, sometimes it is in ones favor to be fashionably late. Yesterday, on Bloom Day proper, it was so grey, wet, and miserable here, that I would have worried for my camera’s safety bringing it outside without an umbrella. This … Continue reading

Post-election Blooms, Pods and Foliage – November 2016
A garden is a good reminder that life goes on, outside of our human drama. And, it its a good place for demons to disperse, and some semblance of sanity to be restored. I spent some time putzing around out … Continue reading

Foliage Follow-Up – September 2016
A couple of days late, but figured I wanted to join in with Pam at Digging’s monthly meme anyway, celebrating the best and boldest of any garden – the foliage! Head over there for a treat you don’t often see, and … Continue reading
