….would still bloom in December….maybe. These were still blooming outside the Second Cup on Mt. Pleasant today – Dec 7, 2011. I am in awe, obviously, that we still have these precious flowers when we really should be burying their shrubs under a foot or two of snow. Maybe I should change my name to […]
This is the time of year when we try to make everything “shine.” We put frosting on ornaments and lights in trees. We put up beautiful glass decorations to enhance and reflect light. Perhaps it’s because the days are short, that we need to get as much light as we can, from wherever we can.
Well here they are. I picked them about 5:30pm on Dec 2, 2011. This is absolutely that latest that I have had roses blooming in the garden. Our last date prior to this one was Nov 27 a few years ago. I am also in another photo challenge – hope you can stand it. I

I was asked to write about “what is in the back of my mind “- a motherlode. This is where I store and ferment my ideas for business, knitting and life! At any given time there is a seed, a seedling, an adolescent plant and one that is about to bloom and produce seeds again
I have another blog challenge which is to describe your day or your year….given that for the most part the minutiae of my day is pretty boring…extend that to a year and you get 365 days of the same. I think that I would like to tweak it a little and talk about the development
This is another heading in the scavenger hunt, I am in. I spent a lot of time thinking and looking for something that would fall under the heading – abandoned. I walk to the cemetery a lot and there are a lot of seemingly abandoned graves there – this is very sad. However, I walk
