April showers are providing us with pretty roses before May. Ever-Lovin’ was watching Pretty Baby in the backyard when he stuck his head in the den door and exclaimed, “You need to get your camera and take a picture of the roses before the storms destroy them”. I got Trusty Camera, and the roses are […]
I called Miss Jane. “May I visit your garden?” “The daffodils are gone, but there are iris blooming and and some roses,” she replied. “You are welcome to come.” And go I did. It is always a treat to stroll through Miss Jane’s garden. A new wreath adorns the garden gate. The large hoop is […]
Excellent Cook Nancy first sent me information about Texas Tulips – The First Blooming Tulip Field in Texas. Then there was a segment on WFAA about the Texas Tulips. That was it. I wanted to visit Texas Tulips. This seemed like the perfect outing for Lanabird. Plus it gave us a reason to have an outing […]
The flowers on the desk in Room 106 came to be known as “My Garden”. I thought about calling it “My Secret Garden”, but it wasn’t a secret because the flowers were in plain sight for everyone to see and enjoy. What a bright and cherry corner these flowers created. Come visit “My Garden” The light pink […]
The highly anticipated (by me at least) Twelve Days of Christmas display is open at the Dallas Arboretum. Order your tickets, and you too can enjoy the fun. As we entered the gardens, carolers in Victorian attire serenaded us. What a delightful way to begin our nighttime excursion to see the twelve decorated gazebos throughout […]

Shelley Cramm looks at these verses with a gardeners heart, and has created a hybrid devotional/ study Bible based on the gardening truths found in God’s Word. This study Bible provides daily Bible readings for an entire year. […]
You might have missed the Tyler Rose Festival (Plan to go next year.), but there are still things to see and do on a day trip to Tyler, Texas. For starters, the Rose Garden and Rose Museum are open year round. Visiting the Tyler Rose Garden made my heart sing. Rows and rows of roses […]
Getting to share my friend Mrs. Ralph’s home has been a treat, and I do thank her for letting me share. Her home is gorgeous any time of the year, but it seems to thrive in the fall. Other post have visited her porch, dining room, living room, and breakfast room. Click on the names […]
I have always thought that no Southern garden is complete without a bottle tree. Brightly colored bottles shimmering in the sunlight. I never thought much about bottle trees keeping spirits away until I read Because of Winn Dixie. Kate DiCamillo Newberry Award winning story of Opal and her orphaned dog Winn Dixie. It is a […]
Disclaimer: I am not a gardner. Miss Jane and Super Sister are gardeners. I love pretty flowers and visiting beautiful gardens, but the best I can do in the yard is water the container plants, and deadhead the roses. Okay, my roses do have a happy spot in my back yard, but that has nothing […]
