Pictures from my garden and a few of my favorite gardening quotes.


Here are a few pictures from my garden, and a few of my favorite gardening quotes.
Enjoy!


"When you grow your garden, it grows you."

- T.F. Hodge



Gardening is learning, learning, learning. That's the fun of them. You're always learning.

-Helen Mirren


Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food, and medicine for the soul.

-Luther Burbank



"A garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them."
-Liberty Hyde Bailey


"Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as paint and the soil and sky as canvas."

-Elizabeth Murray



"Gardening always has been an art, essentially."

-Robert Irwin




“I must have flowers, always, and always.”

― Claude Monet





“…a flower of strange beauty, growing in a desolate spot, and blossoming in the wind...”

― Nathaniel Hawthorne

  9. Such beautiful flowers! I have always had such respect for those who grow beautiful flower gardens. While I love my vegetable garden and have had great luck with it, I seem to be far less skilled with the flower variety! Not sure why that is lol

  12. "As I walk among my flowers, I find myself talking to them, reasoning and remonstrating with them, and adoring them as if they were human beings. Much laughter I provoke among my friends by so doing, but that is of no consequence. We are on such good terms, my flowers and I!" Celia Thaxter

We started our trip with an early morning, some rain, and a bit of anxiety. After our luggage mishap in W...

Delicious Fall Recipe: Roasting Pumpkin Seeds

🎃 Delicious Fall Recipe: Roasting Pumpkin Seeds If you're anything like me, your favorite season is Autumn, and I get excited when making fall snacks and new recipes. My family loves it when I roast pumpkin seeds for a quick and easy snack. Roasting pumpkin seeds is one of those simple pleasures that turns seasonal scraps into a crunchy, crave-worthy snack. Here's my step-by-step method—with measurements—to help you make the perfect batch. Step 1: Scoop Out the Seeds Begin by carefully using a sharp kitchen knife to slice off the top portion of your pumpkin, making your cut around the stem to create a wide enough opening for easy access to the interior.  Once the top is removed, reach inside the pumpkin to extract the seeds. You can do this with your bare hands, but I prefer wearing a latex glove to keep things clean and comfortable—though this step is entirely optional.  Alternatively, you can use tools like an ice cream scooper, a sturdy fork, or a specialized pumpkin seed...
