Groannnnnn . . . . The guy next door, who was not kidding, said, "The Cinco de Mayo comes around the same time each year." Well, yes it does, and...
You have some fantastic finds there, Toni! I can just see those cast iron finials topping a long trellis, and the chair sitting in front of it....
Eileen, I think that most Stewie's homes are dusty, if not literally, at least metaphorically. I personally think of dust as incipient garden...
Great caption, Eileen! I bet you have some very muscular squirrels around your place.
I've seen the "lawn care" guys, and I wouldn't trust them with cacti! A diseased tree is stressed already, and giving it a dose of fertilizer...
I use "green" bags from the local Habitat for Humanity, and from our local grocery. They are fairly sturdy, and I'd never thought about lead...
I knew it, I knew it! Jerry and Joyce are a beautiful twosome! So glad you had fun (with Joyce being a "swinger" how could you miss?) and had...
I,too, am not a fan of chainsaw art. However, that owl bench transcends the medium and is truly a wonderful addition to your garden! Lucky you to...

Styles may change, but what you like probably doesn't. As long as you stay away from the "trendy" colors (I have no idea what they are!) and...
A very happy birthday to the Queen of Plants! Have a great day, and a wonderful year.
Cheryl, "normal" is not possible here at Red Gate Farm. This morning we had a bunny on the porch, looking in the patio door; two cardinals chasing...
The chicks moved outside, and Feliz our calico cat has reclaimed her guest bedroom. [img] My room, again! ( photo / image / picture from...
Our hummingbirds have been around for about a month, which is late for Central Texas. We have Ruby Throats here--what hummingbirds do you have,...
Kostza, that is a very historic style of fencing. There is one much like it in a restored mid-to-late 19th century village in upstate NY. Very...
You two make a lovely couple! May the next decade and more be as happy for you as the past one.
How about painting the stair wall a very interesting color, perhaps a rosy red, or a peach color--something welcoming, but eye-catching? Then, as...
