Springtime in Miss Jane’s Garden

Posted on: Apr 14, 2015        In: Life and Love        With: No comments
I called Miss Jane.  “May I visit your garden?” “The daffodils are gone, but there are iris blooming and and some roses,” she replied.  “You are welcome to come.” And go I did.  It is always a treat to stroll through Miss Jane’s garden. A new wreath adorns the garden gate. The large hoop is […]

Disclaimer:  I am not a gardner.  Miss Jane and Super Sister are gardeners.  I love pretty flowers and visiting beautiful gardens, but the best I can do in the yard is water the container plants, and deadhead the roses.  Okay, my roses do have a happy spot in my back yard, but that has nothing […]

Miss Jane mentioned that the iris in her garden were blooming.  I knew it was time for a look-see. This garden is always beyond wonderful.  Not only were the iris blooming, but there were also roses, bluebonnets, columbine, and many others plants.  The love and care she puts into creating a lovely environment inspires everyone. Miss […]

Eighteen days ago I encouraged you to plant paperwhites so you could have blooms for Christmas. The directions said the bulbs would produce showy white fragrant blooms in about 6 weeks (A few other sites mention 4 to 6 weeks.)  We had planted paperwhites a few years back, and as we remembered, that timing was correct. […]

Miss Jane’s Gardens

One of my oldest and dearest friends is Jane.  She is quiet about her service to others, and what she does is so meaningful. We have known each other since Bruton Bends days in the early 70’s.  She, John (John is really neat also.), lived in a house, and we were in the apartments across […]

Super Sister loves to garden, and she has a lovely garden. Come take a tour with me. Be still my heart.  Austin stone boarders the beds.  Love the ferns.  Oh, see the honeysuckle that covers the arbor.  Dream about sitting in this swing on a lazy summer evening, and enjoying the smell of the honeysuckle.
