Flowers
In honor of the first weekend of summer, a collage of my most recent flower pictures. I’m hoping to add to the collection with visits to the peonies in Falmouth and the rose garden at Deering Oaks.
Weekend – Ellsworth
This past weekend, we headed up to Ellsworth to visit my father and C. As you can see, it’s taken me three days to recover from the trip enough to post about it. Item #1 to love about Ellsworth: The greenhouse in Dad and C’s house. We actually got there just in time for this

Garden Notes
Lots of plants to see this weekend. With the super warm day we had on Thursday, a lot of stuff has hopped into existence in the last couple of days. In order, left to right, top to bottom: 1. Rhodys in my Dad’s garden.2. Forget me nots in my Dad’s garden.3. Mini iris in my
Garden Notes
A small sampler of Spring flowers: In slightly less pretty news, I already have lily beetles in my lilies! Damn bugs!

Mackworth Island – Falmouth, ME

Summer Dreaming
So it’s February. And it’s snowed. Again. And there isn’t enough tea in this world to keep my hands and insides warm. So, in honor of Project Spectrum, I took a leisurely stroll through last summer’s flower pictures and put together a Fire themed collage. Can Spring get here just a little quicker so I
Mackworth Island and Crescent Beach State Park
My best friend from college was up visiting this weekend, so we took advantage of the incredible weather to head out to the sea while she was there. The foliage still isn’t in full swing, but we were able to find some little peeks of color here and there. It was also nice to have
