The totally dirt loving, sunshine worshiping, seed planting, flower arranging meanderings of a poet and artist granny that can't get enough of growing things.
An avid gardener, painter, poet... expanding the boundaries, planting seeds with great faith, appreciating the abundance of the harvest... embracing all the lessons from the garden, the page and the paint brush....it's all about growing.

Spring is sprung.... The grass is ris... I wonder where The flowers is!
Well, they are coming......one trip to Portland and all the green stuff is empirical evidence. Daffodils are blooming, plum trees, forsythia, crocus and stuff I don't recognize are blooming! See what all that drizzle in the winter produces! All the things I planted in sister's garden last summer are leafing out and cooperating with the master plan! Spring is a good thing!
Forever, and ever.....spring always comes. The drive down the Columbia Gorge this morning, on my way to pick up another load of stuff.....was beautiful. The new spring growth is covering the river cliffs with soft green velvet and as I got to Hood River.....wispy white clouds bent down to lick the hilltops and curl up every crevice of the gorge. Beautiful! Welcome spring.....it's a good thing.
