One of the reasons we chose to relocate to Georgia from NJ was the fabulously long growing season (and the lovely weather in general). Look how lovely this camellia is right now. But I was never really able to take advantage of the mild winters as far as growing vegetables was concerned. I had tried many times and failed each time. My cabbages always got eaten by cabbage worms. My broccoli ... Read More about Saying “Yes” To A Winter Vegetable Garden
The Hope of A New Year
I'm glad 2011 is over. It was not a good year for me. Actually I think it was one of the worst years I've had in a long time. New Year's Day is a little bit like looking at a beautifully wrapped gift you haven't opened yet. You have hope and anticipation. Hope that just what you want will be in that package.

So far I love it. I'm trying to get as much of the barn done as I can because it's supposed to rain every day next week. It's slow going since my summer help is in college and busy. The ...

Fall Decorating at the Front Door
I'm busy painting my barn so I thought I'd share a few photos of my front porch which I decorated with fall in mind. Normally I don't do much. During the summer I have ferns in my urns and those will stay green well into the end of October (November we start decorating for Christmas). So I usually just keep my ferns and add a wreath, a mum or two and a pumpkin and call it a done! But people ... Read More about Fall Decorating at the Front Door
