QUICK TRIP TO BOSTON

Daughter's attending Wentworth Institute of Technology, studying Architecture (or Archi-torture as she calls it). Over the last couple weeks, she's been accumulating a list of things she's needed and last night was delivery night! (Good thing she's only in Boston. Otherwise that would be an expensive care package to ship!)

I LOVE AIR PLANTS

YES, they are super easy to grow and need no soil, but they also can be placed in any situation; drift wood, in a glass globe, in shells, left on a tabletop, in planters, among some ideas.

This dude (already assembled in the 1" planter) walked into my life in the food store back in 2017.

I just bought the same sort of planters separate, on Amazon so I can insert my own air plants.


Some more of my air plants (+others on my vertical garden).

OH DEER THAT'S HOT

Deer keep coming back and eating my very hot Ghost Pepper plants.

If you look carefully you'll see in the first photo the deer is reaching way in to get to the newer leaves, not realizing the fruit is VERY HOT. In the second picture, it looks like the hot kicked in!

BOUNTY!

😂 Not sure why my garden's bounty is so slow in coming this year. I started most of my plants indoors and the actual garden looks great!!!!

2 1/2 oz TERRARIUM JARS

For a few weeks I've been seeing these baby plants growing up our walkway and thought how adorable they'd be in a terrarium. I finally followed thru with that idea today and planted them in two mini 2.5 oz jars. Also, to fill some of the space, I included tiny shells.

I LOVE terrariums. To romanticize terrariums, they've also been named Fairy Gardens. 😍

I hope these little guys are easy to care for. And trimming will hopefully keep what normally are fairly large plants on the small side.

DIFFICULT TIME

My poor beagle's not too healthy. Last week she suffered congestive heart failure. It was horrible, especially at night. It was a very long week, last week. But she's a strong girl and with a lot of help, she fought hard to stay with us.

With her hard work at the animal hospital, great caretakers and strong meds, Hazel's home. She really doesn't have much more time.... (And she really isn't the same.)

So, no more free-ranging it around the huge backyard, woods and swamp. She now needs to take it easy. But to help, I take her for walks around the back, so she can "keep tabs on things". Took these photos during this morn's walk.

POPCORN GROUND COVER ROSES

After the beautiful flowers fade, I am going to plop this into my garden and see how well it does. Summer'll be no problem but it the winter that is unpredictable.

ARRANGEMENTS

I've been doing floral arrangements for a while. Recently I gave an arrangement to a women's group. It was then and all their wonderful comments did I realize arranging flowers is not only fun but another COOL craft.

A cool thing I learned a couple years ago.... if I don't have the flowers in my garden, the flowers in the grocery store are just as useful and fun to arrange. I also realized that silk flowers give me a nice opportunity to arrange a fun vas but also allows me redo the flowers for a fresher arrangement (and adding fun live greenery gives the arrangement an extra boost).

A Few New Soaps

This is a fun soap. Like the unique way the drops pooled.

Aren't these angels adorable? I fell in love with them when I saw them.

Here are some bars cut from another loaf mold.
