Garden Blogger's Bloom Day!

Link

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.

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. (Slideshow below - if it plays too fast, hover your cursor on it until the <- -> appear & click on them to view what you've missed). To see my previous posts for this special event, please click on the "A Fanciful Twist Halloween Party" label at the very end of this...

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?
