They really are quite remarkable creatures. This little one was quite lively, and navigated the thorny rose with bravado. It was fascinating to watch. I just didn’t have it in me to kill it... #snail #snailsThe little bronze figures I made back in school always make me happy when the afternoon sun strikes just so. It’s been a while since I’ve seen them. Haven’t had time to be out here much, but I really needed a day in the garden to turn my back on the world, and forget all its evils. Their struggle to climb the screen is a often a good reality check, but it’s not quite working for me today. I feel we have blood on our hands - on at least two fronts. I wonder where I’d turn if I didn’t have a garden...? #feelingfortunate #tryingtoescape #thesolaceofagarden #mybackyardA view from the roof is always interesting. Taking advantage of the sunshine to take down this monstrous #clematisaarmandiiappleblossom #plantsthateatbuildings #makingthehubbyhappy Oh well... a spring without flowers, but it’ll grow back. This time I will keep it in check, though!We had a few too many pet accidents lately, so today was rug cleaning day. The old rug got a good schampooing with the power washer, and while I was at it, I washed three other rugs too. This one I did last, and as I was almost done, I realized the sky had gotten awfully dark. By the time I had put everything away, it was thundering and big wet drops were hitting the driveway. I guess that means everything gets an extra rinse. But, I just had to snap a quick picture of how good that rug looked against that ominous sky. #fallcolors at their best!After a week of rain, I took advantage of the sunny day, and worked on the houseboat project. It was such a pretty day... #makingupforlosttime #containerplanting #rootballsareheavy #plantingisfun #dirtundermynails #beautifulday #opticvervedesignSo nice to see the abundabce of bright young humans standing up for their future. I had good intentions, but got tied up in a meeting, so I got there late, and the crowds of people were dispersing. Feel bad about not planning better for it, but glad to see the turnout was so great. Good for you, kids! Can’t wait for the older generation to be phased out, so you can take over. #climatestrike #climatechange #climatechaosrebellion #climate #climatechaos #stopclimatechange #stopclimatechangenow #extinctionrebellion #portlandoregon #omsi

As luck would have it, Judy – one of the GardenTime co-hosts – had visited Joy Creek and gotten a kick out of the table gardens on display out there. Long story short – as some of you may have … Continue reading
Five miniature table gardens
Awright… here we go! The five little table gardens I made for Joy Creek this week, and wrote about in yesterday’s Vignette post. Since each of these portable tables is only a square foot in size, even a little 4″ … Continue reading
The punk rock bride
Those of you who have been with me for a while know I have a bit of a hang-up with the color pink. Not hot pink as much as baby pink, but still… it remains a difficult color for me, … Continue reading
