Happy February & Happy Valentine’s Day! My wonderful husband Bob has taken me out to dinner every Valentine’s Day since we started dating in 1982. For many years the day came with an amazing bouquet of gorgeous flowers. Since retirement and my interest in gardening, Valentine’s now includes a trip to the nursery and the gift of a special plant or pot or both!!
We spent a delightful January morning exploring three garden and boutique shops at the historic Circle in Old Towne Orange.
Happy New Year! It’s a glorious time of year and after so much rain, there are so many flowers and fresh greenery and blue, blue skies. Let us not forget, snow covered mountains. We live in an amazing place.
On December 10, about 60 garden club members attended our Holiday Member Tour at the homes and gardens of Pam Bisson in Ladera Ranch & Sue Field in Coto de Caza.
Happy December!!! I hope you each had a happy Thanksgiving and that you are starting preparations for whatever holiday you celebrate at this time of year.
Elaine Davis led a Green Thumb Craft project painting beautiful and spooky Halloween gourds at her home on October 16, 2021.
Grateful is where my heart is this November. Especially when I compare this November to last during the pandemic...
October is a fun month and a favorite for me. It’s a great planting season and a transition time in our gardens. I find it so interesting how life in our gardens is so like our own lives. We pick the plants we love much as we pick friends and close family members.
Was your summer fun and exciting? I hope your travels were delightful, and your celebrations full of joy. If you had health scares, I hope you and your loved ones are doing well and are resting and enjoying life as best as is possible.
