The Garden in September

Doll making

i have a new hobby doll making in the last five days i have made five dolls. dolls 3 and 5 are pictured above. it all began with a gift from my father, he recently gave me a sewing machine or maybe the gift was he taught me to sew 30 years ago. it was also serendipitous that at the same time i acquired the sewing machine Jo-ann opened a store nearby.

7 evening meals

 

Last Wednesday this crazy idea popped into my mind to photograph each evening meal , so i did. 

Easy growing

I planted 'Red Hot Pokers' (kniphofia uvaria) in my flower garden back in 2010. That year i  was hoping to create a red garden. Some plants never survived but the 'Red Hot pokers' did. They are so easy to grow, flowering each June with very little effort on my part.

The salad garden

i often think of my vegetable garden as the salad garden because  year after year i have the most success with the  tomato and cucumber plants. i find myself eating tomato and cucumber salads each and every day.

Picked this morning from the garden

Blueberries. I only have two blueberries bushes, so i am delighted to be able to pick anything at all no matter how insignificant.

New Delights

the daffodils are slowly fading away for another year. fortunately they are being replaced by flowering primrose and creeping phlox. every day now there is a new delight for me to see in the garden.

a little surprise

while cutting spent flowers from my rose bushes this morning i noticed this little guy resting on a dead branch. so of course i ran back inside to get my camera and when i returned he was still there. i think he was looking at me.
