My Summer of Hope Gardens 2023

Another foggy morning in August captured my attention when the golden glow of the sun's rays framed the driveway. Ooh...that means it's time to grab my camera and investigate the messy flower beds I call hope gardens for summer 2023. I long for the moment I can perfectly frame a photo of any yellow flower.… Continue reading My Summer of Hope Gardens 2023

A Lazy, Hazy, Reminder Why 1156 Days Is Worth The Wait

If you would've asked me 3 years ago how much time it typically takes Mr. and I to re-rent a rental unit, I'd say, "It depends upon how much work has to be done to clean it up for the next renter - so, 6 months tops."

Friday night dinner prep conversations go something like this (give or take an embellishment or two).

How An Abysmal Garden Bed Leads Me to Photograph Bugs Instead of Flowers Summer 2023

The abysmal attempt at growing this year's flower garden isn't all my fault. Nope, I blame it on the drought and the scoundrels (rabbits). I've done my part to abolish the weeds in the dust and to water the dust. Every bug-stinking day! I absolutely cringe when I see morning glories and zinnias abscond overnight.… Continue reading How An Abysmal Garden Bed Leads Me to Photograph Bugs Instead of Flowers Summer 2023
