The garden of George and Maurice did not disappoint! In fact, it was marvelous, and I could have spent hours and hours exploring. Thank you both for a lovely evening in the merry company of friends! 💚#daphnemaejima positively glows as darkness falls. Sure, it looks good in daylight too, but at night it truly shines. Really happy with this plant! #moonlightgardening #myjungle #mygardenIt seems I get the most interesting jobs. This MASSIVE Sequoia serves as the spiritual center of the #benedictinesisters campus in Mt Angel. I’m helping them with designs for a few areas and was truly taken with this incredible tree. #sequoia #spiritualcenter #centeringHad fun making bouquets today. Started with one, had leftover cuttings, made another half, picked more, had leftovers - and so on. In the end, I had four vases full of lovelies, from the gardens @joycreeknursery . Which are like a giant box of crayons for folks like me. 😊 #playingwithplantsWas going through old photos, and found this. This is what happens when your best beloved comes home with a bag of rubber noses. 😂🤣😂Inside working on thi beautiful day, but hd to sneak out a little bit to see if there was anything new in the garden. There wasn’t, but I snapped a few shots of where I’d rather be. #wannagooutside #feelingsorryformyself

Okay, so it snowed… I suppose that means it will be less difficult to stay inside and do paper work, but still… I had to venture out at least a little bit, and take some pictures. It’s interesting how similar … Continue reading

All lit up
For as much as a Grinch as I am, the one thing I really appreciate about Christmas on our side of the globe, is all the lights glimmering in an otherwise darkened world. I find the idea of an evergreen … Continue reading

The last rose…
Every so often, Portland gets hit with a little snow, and sometimes even an ice storm. Over the past two days, we got both – a double whammy. Once again, I am thankful for the roof over my head, and … Continue reading
