I could use more time enjoying my garden, and I have an inkling that is true for most of us that love a garden. Modern life has a way of pushing in with what seems like a long list of urgent, yet trivial, demands that eat up the day… and sometimes grab part of the…
Garden Blogs I Read
I might read and enjoy a blog that I think should be better advertised to a reading public.... then I post about them.
Life In Robin’s Nest: A Garden of Many Colors
Source: Life In Robin’s Nest: A Garden of Many Colors I wanted to try out the “press this” browser plugin from my WordPress software. I don’t think I ever have before!

Nature Proves God Has A Strange Sense Of Humor
Some people think that God cannot possibly have a sense of humor… that He must be uptight, stern, and fond of saying “We are not amused”, but a look at some of the things in creation and how they look, work, and their effects on us as we observe them, make me think that their…

Humdinger Blog
I would love to see a hummingbird like this- they aren’t found in Ohio, but aren’t the colors (and the photographer’s art) a joy to see? I saw this on ‘Gardening With Binoculars‘ which is filled with so much interesting information on both fauna and flora. Give Ann McCormacks site some time- it will fascinate…
Visit Hocking Hills- Lonadawn
I love Hocking Hills… it is a dreamy landscape that will make you think of the land of the Lord of the Rings. But those wild scenes aren’t where I want you to visit today… I invite you to explore with Hocking Hills gardener, Lonadawn, as she takes you on a tour of her yard…
