Spring Countdown
In 27 days on March 20 it will be spring. I love the color burst of Spring. My love of this comes from my paternal Grandma. Growing up, I helped her in her gardens.
I have fond memories of her yard in the spring bursting with colors. I
helped pull the weeds from around the roses. While her children were
growing up, she grew fruits and veggies. She had plums, raspberries and
blackberries when I was growing up. Summer
flowers in Grandma's garden included: roses, zinnias, geraniums, peonies, pansies,
petunias, snapdragons. She had a second garden at the
family cottage near Alexandria Bay, NY in the 1000 islands. The
flowers were in whiskey barrels at the entrance to the home.
Backyard Visitors
Our
suet feeder seems to attract a wide variety of Woodpeckers to my garden.
they enjoy the food in the winter we provide and in the warmer months
they feast on the insects in the garden. It is nice to have a back yard habitat they enjoy.
My pond is right next to this feeder. When it is warmer, the birds enjoy the waterfall and their bird bath at the top of it. Have you made a space that is friendly to local wildlife? Always be kind ot others. I was taught this by my Father and honor him by my practice of it.
As I countdown to spring, the garden design is finished for the veggies. Very happy to have a plan to grow by so I do not end up without space for a favorite vegetable.
As winter is winding down, my garden catalogs help me plan for the warm season. As the designer in me is active, there as some new jewelry designs for spring, too. Working on Earrings, necklaces, and bracelets in Copper and Sterling Silver.
