Garden Blogger's Bloom Day!

I didn't have a chance to post this yesterday because I wanted to be sure to post the butterfly in the cherry blossom photo's. (Click here for yesterday's "Friday Favorites" post to see them - I don't often toot my own horn about things but these photo's are incredible!) Aside from lots of green foliage, I don't have much blooming yet here on the Jersey coast as you can see above (and nothing yet in my northern Skylands Region garden), but I managed to get a few shots this week. Everything that's not blooming is coming back nicely. My Bleeding Heart just took a direct hit though from a wind blown branch so the first pink blooms getting ready to open this week were knocked off but there will be plenty more to come. (We're under a wind advisory and coastal flood warning today; awaiting the arrival of up to 2"s of rain!) A belated happy Garden Blogger's Bloom Day to all of you! I look forward to seeing what's blooming in your gardens, around the country and around the world.

To get in on all of the GBBD fun, head over to May Dreams Gardens.

I love spring in the garden! Two inches of rain sounds like the west coast here. I will be glad when spring decides to arrive. It's down to almost freezing tonight.

An Enchanted Garden Party

Welcome to my post! To visit other participants, please head over to the Practical Magic Blog Party 2010 blog. I must say that while I think Practical Magic the movie is adorable, I think the novel is incredible. And that is where I gleaned my inspiration from for these festivities. Gardens are mysterious, magical and enchanting, don't you think? Now follow me out into the garden, I have everything all ready for you, including music! (Turn your volume on). *Update: Music has reverted to my regular Fall soundtrack, 9/28/2010* For all of you non Practical Magic Blog Party folks, head on over to NJ Through My Eyes where I've posted 2 new slide-shows today; one is a preview of a new project I'm working on!

2009 Halloween Fete! (Saturday October 17, 2009) UPDATED! This shindig is still going strong!

Welcome! I'm so happy to have had so many visitors already! I must apologize for not being ready for you earlier! I also apologize for the wacky font sizes throughout my post. No matter how hard I try, I can't correct them. If music doesn't begin playing shortly after your arrival, scroll down until you see a purple music widget begin to load in the left hand column and wait until you hear the music before scrolling back up here. Happy Halloween Fete 2009! Love and Spookiness to All! ~Jo (Continue scrolling down until the end of the post) Outside, it's a gloomy & cold day here on the NJ coast. Many a restless Spirit wander here on days like this. One can never be too sure if the fog & mist are just as they seem. Inside, it is warm yet equally frightful! Creepy crawlies have gotten into the food & drink, I so hope you don't mind! What with all of the party hopping we're doing, I didn't want you to bust a gut, so I've laid out some Pumpkin Cook

A Walk Through The (Dis)Enchanted Forrest (Halloween Party Post)

For more Halloween & Autumn Fun, check out my "Autumn Tuesday" & "Halloween Thursday" posts by clicking on their labels in the left hand column. ~Happy Halloween & Pumpkin Blessings! *Update for those friends wondering, I put this together prior to surgery yesterday to make sure I would be able to post it for today! (Though it didn't post at 12:01am like it was supposed to). Anyhoo, I'm home and resting (uncomfortably). Surgery went well, my kidney tube and stone are gone! I have an internal stent on the left hand side but I'm okay with that because it comes out in the doctor's office in 2-3 weeks (no back to the hospital) and especially because it meant they could take that nephrostomy tube out! (The last nearly 2 weeks of that 15 weeks was rough with that thing, my body was simultaneously trying to heal aroun
