The daffodils have buds, and the crocus are opening. Spring is official. What you don’t see is a picture of me smiling, but rest assured…I am! Visit other gardens and their gardeners at Tootsie Time’s Fertilizer Friday. ~~Rhonda 🙂
Gardening Gone Wild is hosting the Picture This Photo Contest for July. The theme is “flowering trees.” I perused my photos and settled on this one of the redbud tree east of the side porch. When we moved into this house, there was one redbud tree. DH planted more and now we have twenty plus […]
The mother raccoon took two of the babies and left two. We are feeding them until we can get them to a rehab facility. The larger one weighs almost 15 ounces and the smaller one is about 11 ounces. We’re feeding them kitten formula. Julie, as long as they stay healthy, we’ll keep them till […]

Today was beautiful. Sunny with flowers. I even mowed the back yard for the first time this season. But…Tomorrow is supposed to be rainy with snow in the evening. St. Louis is predicting 3″ with more to the west and north. Thankfully we are in the opposite direction. Perhaps it will miss us. Here are […]
