First Water Lily
Yesterday, the first water lily of the season bloomed. The day prior, the aquatic Japanese Iris presented two first flowers. I’ve planted a few herbs and hung a couple of Begonias. The Impatients that I planted last week are beginning to take hold. Soon,… Continue Reading “First Water Lily”
The Patio Pond is Coming To Life Again
Our first Spring in our new house (2017) we used an old 400 gallon poly stock tank to create a patio pond. We bought eight feeder goldfish at Walmart. They were about the length of my thumb. We added a “toss and grow” boxed… Continue Reading “The Patio Pond is Coming To Life Again”
The Patio Pond
First published as a “page” when I created this blog back in 2019 because, well, I didn’t really understand the difference between a page and a post back then. I’m tidying up my blog and this content truly is best categorized as a post.… Continue Reading “The Patio Pond”
The Dawn of June
There’s a saying, “April Showers bring May flowers.” I suspect who ever first penned that phrase lived maybe 300 miles south of where I live. While I get all giddy about planting the annuals when the hardy varieties like petunias and impatients show up… Continue Reading “The Dawn of June”

I have a patio pond. It’s made of a 400 gallon poly-tub that sits next to my raised porch. It’s one of the first projects we completed when we moved into our new home back in 2017. I acquired a number of aquatic plants… Continue Reading “Fish Under Ice”
A Last Minute Gift
My office-patio rose bush has granted me a final, few roses for the season. Blooming brilliantly next to the lovely autumn colored rose hips which are adorned with fall spider webs, the red flower pops.
Chili! Hot Chili, Here!
In my quest to turn our autumn bounty into something delicious, I created a small batch of chili sauce. I used three jalapenos (red and green), a poblano, three of the super hot, cayenne peppers and three of the ones I cannot identify because… Continue Reading “Chili! Hot Chili, Here!”
Dang! That’s Delicious!
As you may know from an earlier post, we harvested a good number of apples considering we are just two people to feed, and the fact that all but one tree is just a few year old. Today, I decided to try my hand… Continue Reading “Dang! That’s Delicious!”
$19.99 + water + Sun + Patience
When we moved into our new home on Christmas eve 2016, I had so many plans for the property. But, it was winter and I could only dream. We set the house nearly 200 feet back from the road and my vision was to… Continue Reading “$19.99 + water + Sun + Patience”
