In response to the Paul’s Patch challenge -- taken off of Carolee's hearbalblessingsblog, let's take a look at the garden in winter’s depth, but also take a moment to remember the grand difference of summer’s brilliance to keep us motivated.

Sample Stickers
They've arrived! It's neat to hold my logo in my hands! It's not complicated & crazy...but sometimes less is more. I wonder if the font should be different for the web page, or if indeed it's better simple? I put it on my hydroflask after my run this afternoon! I had to try it out!!!
Greenhouse progress
Joe is an independent contractor- a very handy guy! This year he celebrates 30 years in his profession!

FINALLY!! The dirt reports arrived in my email yesterday afternoon! I’ve been anxiously awaiting the news, checking my email every hour or so for the last week – been afraid to begin sowing inside, just in case the report came back so horribly that they would tell us not to plant anything for a year! …
Ode to the Winter Sunflower
Your once vibrant greens and yellows have faded and gone. Now in their place an ashen brown rests upon your face. Your straight, lofty stature is now slumped and tired. The winds have beaten you. The rains have stripped you. Yet, here you stand, still sharing what you have left. You've blessed my garden with …
Hardware Store…Garden Center…or Heaven?
Yesterday was a day that I was supposed to go to the grocery store to pick up milk & other staples for the house. I am not a huge fan of going to the grocery store alone, so I asked hubby if he would be willing to go with me. He said he would be …
Visit to Charley’s
Hubby and I took a drive to check out a place called Charley's Greenhouse, it's a bit south of us in Mount Vernon, about a 45-minute drive from home. I was excited to visit their store because it looked like a great place to find information about the new hobby I am going to dive …
