arborvitae tree in the snow flurries

If you want to know what Arborvitae bushes grow up to be: trees! As snow flurries swirled I snapped a closeup picture of my tree.

wintry day through my window

In my old[er] age I like to stay inside and look through the window. This is a scene I took while inside while snow blew briskly outside. That is why it looks a little dark for the morning.

my garden bench in the snow

My good old garden bench. I photographed it in spring and in summer. Here it is waiting out the winter.

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.
