Wildflowers are starting to show their amazing colors. We had three inches of rain early last week which was great. I think our flowers will start blooming the next few weeks in abundance. I love the beginning of wildflower season and

FIRST Bluebonnet

If you read my blog then you know how disheartened I was last spring when we virtually had no wildflowers. This spring will be different and it looks like it might even be a GREAT wildflower season. This week our first bluebonnet

Went to lunch with friends and found these lovely Anthuriums planted in an inside garden area. Anthuriums were my mother-in-laws favorite flower. They are also know as Flamingo Flower or Little Boy Flower. It was nice to see the beautiful

Winter Berries

Everyone knows I am not a fan of the winter season unless we are blessed with a day or two of beautiful snow to enjoy. We have had an extremely dry and moderate winter so nothing notable to peak my interest on my

It is unusually warm today which is making me very ready for spring flowers. No wildflowers last spring which was so disappointing. I am so very hopeful that this spring we will have roadsides and fields full of pretty flowers.

Restless January

My least favorite month is January. I do not do cold and dreary very well. (Our January weather has been beautiful so far, but I have high standard for temps and really dislike anything below 80!) January usually leaves me restless,

I love garlic in basically most any food except for desserts! The only thing I love more is the garlic when it is growing in a garden. Garlic is a simple work of art! Every garden should have garlic to

Slim Pickings

We are having the worst drought in over 80 years. Needless to say, the farm is dry, parched and flowerless. The hot winds continue to beat down anything new that blooms. The raccoons, armadillos, skunks, possums, rabbits and every other

Montana May Tulips

Are these not the most beautiful tulips you have ever seen? One of my friends grows them in her vegetable garden which is protected from the deer. They were extra lovely!

May Winds

The winds have been ferocious. The winds have been hot. But, we have a few wild Tickweed flowers to at least add color to our very dry conditions. This photo was taken with the blowing winds. It was impossible to get a
