Welcome November.

  
November 2010,
Farmer’s Almanac
 
Time on his wing, fast hastes away,
And chills each warm succeed;
To capricon sol hastes each day,
So nights the day succeed.
I had to read it twice to figure it out. Days are shorter, nights longer
and December is nigh..(I stuck in the “nigh”..don’t you love it!)

Tin Can Garden

Sometimes Summer isn’t what she promises.

Holy Saturday

I see His Blood upon the Rose

By Joseph Mary Plunkett  (1887–1916)

  

I SEE his blood upon the rose

And in the stars the glory of his eyes,

His body gleams amid eternal snows,

His tears fall from the skies.

 

I see his face in every flower;

        

The thunder and the singing of the birds

Are but his voice—and carven by his power

Rocks are [...]

Whew!

Yesterday morning I looked out the upstairs window, and of course
we’re covered in snow.

 
I heard a noise, which is odd because I can’t get out the driveway. Which means
no one can come down it either. 
 
And LOOK who came to save me.
The plow and sander, YIPPEE

Unless you go through it.  There is no happier feeling than [...]

The Madonna of the Streets

I love this painting. The blues and earth tones
brings a feeling of sadness and yet hope.
It’s titled, The Madonna of the Streets by
by Roberto Ferruzzi
 

 
We keep it at the end of our hall, so when you enter or leave you’re
treated to this lovely reminder.

 
Today is Ash Wednesday, a day that starts the
40 days [...]

A time for babies

.
We’re enjoying all our new babies, little things are waking up (inside)
here are some happenings in the greenhouse.

Marigolds just starting. They only took two days to start
coming up. I had them inside in a sunny window.
Now that they’ve formed their leaves, they’re under the
warming lamps in the greenhouse

Waking UP! (finally)

 
 
A couple of days ago I was cleaning out the spent blooms
on the Amaryllis plants, from Christmas. I had shoved them under a bench in the
greenhouse.
And low and behold a plant from last year finally decided to wake up.

This is another Apple Blossom variety. I was thrilled. Everything is so
dead around here, and look how [...]

The Sun Came Out!

.
.

I’ve been in the mood that many others are in now.
When is winter going to end. And who stole our
January Thaw?  And when are they going to bring
it back?  February isn’t so bad. We still have a
sizable foot of frozen snow. However the days are
getting longer. And we’ve gone above freezing twice.
That says a lot. (I’ll [...]

Morning Mist

 
A young photographer once told me.   Often the cheapness of the
cameras capture the best pictures.
So I took a picture of the woods, it was surrounded with mist.
But it didn’t show in the shot.

Then the sun broke through,  and filled all the crystals, in the mist.

.

It’s like a water color. You have to keep snapping pictures [...]
