Although we’re bracing for a couple of days of snow this week, the old snow is MELTING! Hooray!
This is my rock garden as it emerges from its winter blanket.
Do you have a garden? If so, is it a flower or a vegetable garden or an orchard?
Blessings!

Congratulations to Mary Cahill, our November 2014 Book Winner! Mary, I’ll be sending a copy of STEALING THE PREACHER by Karen Witemeyer to you ASAP, Mary!

Casey, the “Dat” Casey’s owner, Christina says, “This is our silver tabby, Casey. We call him our dat because he seems like a combination of a dog and a cat. He walks on a leash, as you can see by the photograph, and he actually goes to the front door and begs to be let…
We just returned from a vacation that we’ve been saving for and anticipating during the past two years. We cruised the South Caribbean, visited three new-to-us countries, indulged in gourmet dinners, saw some great musicals, made some wonderful new friends!

Yes indeed, Carol! Hooray for melting snow. When we move sometime in the next month or so, I’ll be leaving my rock gardens, which will tug a bit at my heartstrings, but I’m looking forward to container gardening. I think that will be fun!
Yay for melting snow!! Spring has made it to the west coast in full force — tree buds bursting, lots of blossoms happening.

For summer I tuck a few annuals in a bed by the front sidewalk, but otherwise only put tubs of them on our back deck.
