Atlanta gardening

Here is a composite of my time at my daughters place and a park we went to nearby. I wasn’t exactly ready for the photo op…but there you are: the old lady gardener in all her digging glory.

I put in an endless summer hydrangea, and also some azaleas…whose name I have promptly forgotten- but my daughter has the tags.

Berea Travel Center in Kentucky

If you ever travel between Ohio and Tennessee, the Travel Center in Berea Kentucky is a great place to stop- and you might buy some original art there. I purchased a handcrafted, fine wood box for my son to keep his guitar picks in, and a calligraphy print instead of a birthday card- it had a lovely saying on it.

Take a look at that restroom picture- sparkling clean with fresh flowers in a vase.

    Good Morning: Sounds and looks like you had a good trip. Now you have to ketch up on your gardens. A change of pace is always good, lets you find and enjoy new experiences. then the old ones can be addressed in a new way.

    Have a great day,
    John

Oh, hi there!

I was a garden blog pioneer, and began writing on this blog in 2003. Before that I had begun a garden website that has been at its own domain since 2006, Ilona's Garden.

I still love writing, gardening, and art after all these years, although travel and grandchildren have become a big part of my life, now.
