April Botanical Gifts
I was blessed yesterday with a surprise visit from my mother and father, and they came bearing spring gifts! I thought you'd like to see some of the pretty things they brought. The arrangements were made by my multi-talented mother.
It's spring in Maine but we still don't have any bright colors of which to speak. Other than the blue sky and sea, our world right now is a pallet of muddy shades of brown and grey. So all these cheerful gifts brighten up our house and our spirits while we wait for nature to burst into color.

Happy National Gardening Day!
In honor of National Gardening Day, I found this song I used to listen to with my kids when they were small. We loved this song and sang it often! Enjoy!

End of March Garden Tour 2019-Portland, OR
There is not much to see, the weather has just started to break. However, it will give you an idea of what the garden looked like in the very beginning of the season. Not much to brag about! Now it is April and time for the most busiest gardening month.So far my community raised beds are planted and that is about it. Currently I am trying to seed start and clean up my patio. Have you started with your garden yet?
