Checking It Twice



Wow – what a rainy (and some days chilly) Spring it’s been around Dove Cottage in Blairsville, Ga.  90 miles Northeast of Atlanta, and 10 miles from North Carolina, we’re having a strange Spring – not exactly Southern and certainly not Northern (what kind of Southern lady would admit to anything Northern?)

Here’s my Spring To-Do List, and some photos of early projects.

Make new window awning (old one was ripped up in a storm)
Paint garden bicycle
Plant Morning Glory seeds
Finish monogrammed pillow for Mom
Clean garden fountains and get running
Repot Clematis
Plant herb seed in wheelbarrow
Plant sunflower seeds around bird feeders
Buy evergreens for fishbowls at front door
Buy baskets for window buckets
Touch up harlequin pattern on concrete
Rake walking trails in woods

HAPPY SPRING SPRUCING!

Faery Mushroom Garden

 

No matter the season or weather, my mushroom garden is always in “bloom.”  Yes, that’s poison ivy – the faery who lives in the little house says it protects her from humans
