March 2010 Garden Blogger's Bloom Day and March's Fury

For more info on GBBD, see May Dreams Gardens.

The Monarch Butterflies are suffering this Winter season! For more info, please click here.

It's still chilly, foggy and raining here, as it has been for 5 days. This storm has been unlike anything we've seen here in many years. Power's out all over (thankfully we only browned out- dozens of times), trees down, homes flooded, schools closed, roof's blown off, debris everywhere, people have died... Mother Nature's fury indeed.
Beware The Ides of March this day!

That looks to be some storm. I was sort of missing the ocean, and then I saw those big rollers crashing in and thought again.

I love the picture of the vultures, they look like they are rethinking their migration plans. . .

I'm sure your garden will survive, but it certainly does look wet and bedraggled.

Thanks for visiting me.

Hi Jo, thanks for stopping by Hill Country Mysteries.

I LOVE your slide show presentation! What a great way to present your lovely pictures.

Looks like you've had a round of nasty weather. Hope spring comes soon.

Those Joy Sedum are close to my heart. Seems that New Jersey has some similar coastal conditions to San Francisco. Those are some crazy sand/wind/waves... Matti/.. also love the trad music

Thanks for stopping by everyone and for your lovely comments! It was a whopper of a storm, nothing we've seen the likes of in Many years and we've been left with a mess to clean up, but that's what we're doing slowly and thankfully the perennials and we have survived!

2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party 2011 is Here! Updated

It's time for the 2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party created & hosted by the wonderful Anna of Frosted Petunias ! My sincerest apologies for getting this up rather late! The adventure that is post Hurricane Irene cleanup & repairs has been taking up too much time recently. (sigh) Things are a mess; I only started decorating for Autumn yesterday and I'm missing Halloween decorations! Luckily my broom is always safe and sound by the front door so at least I don't have to wonder where it is. (Not that it hasn't been known to scamper off now and again - naughty broom). I was afraid, quite honestly, that I wouldn't even get a post up sometime today! I kept hitting dead ends with every other one I tried. But, this morning I sat here at the computer and it flowed. Thankfully! I would have been so disappointed if I'd missed this, it was such fun last year! As some may remember from last years party, while I like the movie, (and love that house!), I love the...

The Time Is Upon Us Once Again!

Welcome Friends! It's time once again for A Fanciful Twist Halloween Party ! Warmest thanks to the lovely Vanessa for hosting again this year. My apologies for not having this up sooner, I've been dreadfully under the weather and my helpers have been more of a hindrance! My lovely kitchen witch Helvetica has given up time off and has been cooking & baking away since last night but the skeletons have been eating everything in sight (damn their bottomless stomachs!) though they won't fess up and the invisible man has been raving on and on every time the door bell rings! I do hope you'll enjoy your visit to Pumpkin Manor and have a Happy Halloween ! I look forward to your return.

11:14pm (3/16/09) Watching a documentary Tennessee is so beautiful Head & nose all stuffy Out of ZyrtekD - sigh Want to read but distracted by my clogged head Hubby's snoring a little, restless a lot I worry about him He's so tired, works so much Doesn't get to do what he enjoys often enough (If at all) He willingly took my burdens & made them his own I'm still not used to being taken care of Makes me uncomfortable, guilty I took care of things for so many years Are 2 persons "stuff" too much for 1 person? Even a good, strong man? I know what it is to do more than my "fair share" Though the situation was completely different Is the end result the same?

This Perfectly Imperfect Life
