Water for everyone
August 15, 2018
When it’s this hot and dry, the birds need fresh water too. Filling the bird baths is a daily activity that Archie loves. Yum! Bird-flavored water!

It is watering season. And it’s been SO dry which makes it all the more important to fill your cans and get out there. If you haven’t yet, you should sign up for the TGP newsletter. They share watering tips in the latest edition plus other great info. Use the link in the sidebar on the right to reach their site.
Meanwhile, check out a closer look at the watering cans I have at the Naperville location so you can pick one up and water in color!
Garden art roadkill
June 25, 2016
Well. We stopped at the ATM and mom checked a couple items I just sprayed this morning to make sure they were nestled safely (we packed the vehicle last night so these were new additions). We heard a clickity clunk and mom said “I didn’t like the sound of that” but we kept rolling (things always shift while driving). About a quarter mile later we realized the hatch was open and stopped immediately. One must love automation–the super helpful rear cargo door closing mechanism failed us. We only lost one item and figured we knew where it was…
Looking forward to a long weekend here…

The time is near!
June 16, 2014
I spent Saturday and yesterday painting in preparation for the Gardener’s Art Festival at the Growing Place this coming Saturday, June 21 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. I’ll be in the front lawn area this year and am hoping for a day as beautiful as those we had this weekend. A little less–well, a lot less– wind than yesterday would be better.
Come visit if you are in the area. It is always a great show and the gardens at the Growing Place are worth the visit all on their own.
See you soon!

What happened?

Remember my post not too long ago “So pretty!” … My anemone is looking really weak all of the sudden. It went from six blooms to no blooms and is very pale. Any idea what is happening?
Growing Place Art in the Garden Festival 2014
February 26, 2014
I received the information in the mail yesterday for the Growing Place Art in the Garden Festival 2014 on June 21 in Naperville! Mark your calendar. I already requested my usual couple of days before the event off from work this morning so I can be ready, ready – ready! And I will start sourcing watering cans right away. I sold all the cans I had painted last season.
Let me know if you have requests!
Spring will come!! Hang in there.

There’s always more to do …
August 24, 2013
Well – I didn’t do too badly yesterday on the productivity front and considering I was up at 3:45 a.m. and stayed up until around midnight, I was able to relax and spend some quality time with my honey too. I did the yard work I wanted for the most part although I have a few other things I want to do this morning before we head out with friends who are meeting here around 2 p.m. I did the dishes, organized the kitchen a little, picked up all the clothes in my dressing room, the laundry is finished … still more to do so I’ve got to run.
It’s a BEAUtiful day!! More tomorrow.
Cheers!
