Happy Valentine's Day

Flowers for all my blog friends!



I believe I mentioned I have been going through my photos.  Over the last month, I have deleted several thousands and am freeing up space for new pictures!  I am also taking the time to organize them a bit; I'm renaming them and tagging them to make it easier to find pictures in the future.  It has been fun to look through all the old pictures.  I have also enjoyed all the green and growing pictures.  This week we here in Denver are supposed to have highs in the 60s everyday.  I am looking forward to that! 

On a slightly different note, I recently upgraded my flickr account to "pro" but haven't known quite what to use it for.  This evening, I was enjoying the soundtrack of Il Postino while I had a slideshow going of garden pictures, and I thought, "Hey, I should download some of these to my flickr account."  I thought you might enjoy seeing them too. Here are some pictures from 2008 in my mother-in-law's garden. I will add a set of pictures from my own garden soon, too.

In regards to the Il Postino soundtrack:  The first half of the soundtrack is poetry; the musical half of the may be my all time favorite soundtrack.  I can just imagine sipping a drink at a french or italian cafe while reading a book, and of course there would be such music in the background.

    Thank you for the flowers -- they're beautiful. You're so motivated! Cleaning out photos is so much work -- I need to do it too.

    Happy Valentine's Day!

    I use flickr as a photo back up, back up to my external hard drive.

    Thank-you for the flowers! If you lived closer I'd share my chocolates with you. Yummy carmel filled kisses!
    Hope you had a great day!
    Enjoy the weather! I'm enjoying the sunshine but it's cold here.

    Your garden photos are beautiful! I loved Il Postino - i need to download the soundtrack. Thanks for the tip - i'm always looking for something new to listen to. Love how fresh your living room looks - i don't have a fireplace and i want one so badly - mainly so i can decorate the mantle! Hope your Valentine's was wonderful.

    Beautiful flowers!
    Time flies when I'm going through my old photos. Before I know it hours and hours have passed, but it sure is fun!

garden panos from 2023

 Last year, I made some effort (not thoroughly successful) to capture state-of-the-garden pictures every month, including panoramas stitched together on Photoshop, in order to get the whole view of what's happening.  So here's a little recap of the garden in 2023! early March April May June August It appears that I missed July, and either didn't take or didn't save this project in September, although we didn't have a killing frost very late into the season - we were still harvesting a few things in October.  As much as I loved the lettuce that was growing in the tunnel, and getting an early start on a few things, I'm not a fan of plastic anywhere, especially in my garden, so I am looking at options - cold boxes with old windows, etc.  I'm planning to start my 2024 garden this month - pea planting, planning, and seed starting in March!  What are you planting?

Night

Trixie (as in Speed Racer) and Stitch (as in per inch) Night My kitten walks on velvet feet And makes no sound at all; And in the doorway nightly sits To watch the darkness fall. I think he loves the lady, Night, And feels akin to her Whose footsteps are as still as his, Whose touch as soft as fur. Lois Weakley McKay ... a childhood favorite from The How and Why Library. Thank goodness my parents moved last year and sent this book my way. Otherwise, I would have just the first line running through my head forever!

Spring Means Baseball!

I've had this idea for a knitting pattern in my head and it's finally come to fruition!  I am still polishing up the pattern, but here's a quick peak:  PS:  There's more than one size and this one is too big for me but it was the only one I had "stitched up."
