Hard to believe. October came and went, and I did not get to go to the Arboretum. Not one single day did I visit the gardens. I love going to the Arboretum. It is one of my most favorite things to do in the entire world. I like it. I love it. (Alas -The State […]
The last roses of summer are blooming. (Although I know there will be more.) Seeing the various stages of blooms on this Tahitian Sunset rose made me run for my camera. Yes, it begins a coral bud. As it opens, it becomes pink with a yellow center, and then it fades to white. I am […]
“Oh, you need to go to Gecko Hardware. It is your kind of place.” Okay, I love recommendations. So, Ever-Lovin’ and I head off to Gecko Hardware in Lake Highlands. It is in the Northlake shopping Center at Northwest Highway and Ferndale. Lake Highlands is s fantastic community. It is like a town within the […]
I don’t think we have ever gone to the Dallas Arboretum in August. Too blooming hot! But, was I ever surprised. They actually have flowers blooming in this Texas heat. Sweet Mother of Pearl. Look how pretty this is. The gardens were green and lush. Here is a close up picture. What are these beauties? […]
A blog in three parts – a tri-blog if you wish. THE HOUSE: Beautiful. Be still my heart. Just walking up to the home made my heart begin to go pitty-pat. Azaleas in bloom, mature trees, and topiary shrubs greeted us as we visited 6325 Preston Parkway. “This classic Tudor home was built in 1936 […]
Finally a dry, warm, sunny day. Ever-Lovin’ and I wanted to see Dallas Blooms while there were still blooms to be seen. Let it be known. The gardens are gorgeous, and there is plenty to see. (The Arboretum is always beautiful – in any season.) See what greeted us even before we entered the gardens. […]
It is officially spring in Dallas, Texas. How do I know? Dallas Blooms opened at the Dallas Arboretum on March 2, 2013. Super Sister is in town, and first on our agenda was a visit the Arboretum. Sweet Mother of Pearl. How I love visiting the Dallas Arboretum. It is pure joy. As we entered […]
Installing piers destroyed my beloved roses. The roses I had purchased for $1.00 a bush. They were beautiful, but crowded in the little bed by the garage. The story I am about to tell is admittedly overkill. My previous roses I picked from the leftovers of the season. They were beautiful, and I loved them. […]
First Jorene mentioned I had not shown pictures of my new porch, and then Super Sister mentioned that there had not been any pictures of the porch. I guess it is time to share. Sometimes I am so happy with something that it is embarrassing. I don’t want to seem …. The porch is like […]
“What we have here is a failure to communicate.” That is the way it is. I am sure none of you have this problem, but true confession – we do. Here is our story. Just the facts. I wanted some herbs to put on the new front porch. While I was buying some herbs, the […]
