Shhh, I’m not actually typing here on Wordless Wednesday…but if you could scratch and sniff the computer, you’d get a wonderful whiff of the aroma I smell when around the potting bench. I’ll just pretend this isn’t an invasive plant for the moment.
An Evening Garden Tour
Scarlet creeping thyme…but not very scarlet flowers. Could be mislabeled… Calendula Gaillardia Woodland painted petals While I love walking through our yard and garden at all times of the day, there’s always something different blooming, I think the evening walk throughs are my favorite. Particularly those when the sun is just down in a particular […]
Green Tree Frog
We’re lucky that the area where we live is packed with frogs and toads. As dusk settles in the frog song escalates to new heights and sometime deep in the summertime it’ll be a cacophony of noise that we can hear inside the house. Someday I need to record it to share with y’all. Some […]
21 Weeks & Early Thoughts on the Bradley Method
I was going to wait to write a pregnancy post until a week from now after my 23 week appointment, but I’ve got thoughts so I decided I’d write them down now instead. I think this dress came from my friend Erika, but I’m not sure. I’ve been lucky to have obtained maternity clothes from […]
Swampin’ in Fakahatchee | Part II
Old logging scars…what a shame, they cut the tree down but couldn’t haul it out.

This would be […]

Swampin’ in Fakahatchee | Part I
Lots of photos in this post! Our first day in Fakahatchee for the yearly Central Slough Survey, we joined park biologist Mike Owen and several other botany and plant enthusiasts for a slow slog down Mink Slough. The best thing about walking through this slough was the generally it was fairly easy walking with little […]
Poison Ivy on Steroids
I first noticed this vine last year, which grows on a pine tree just on the other side of our fence on the neighbor’s property, and had identified it as poison ivy. Chris just noticed it this year and wants to cut the vine, which is within reach of our snippers. It’s a pretty magnificent […]
