My hyacinths are blooming and smell so good. I’ve got lots of plants waking up, and I think even more will show signs of life this week. My rose bushes are out of control. I’ve never grown roses before so I’m not quite sure how to go about tackling them. They have some mighty thorns …
Good Monday morning, my friends! It’s been bright and sunny but very cold here in Central Indiana. This week is supposed to see a warm up, and I’m ready for it. I just hope my plants don’t wake up only to be frozen when the temperatures will inevitably fall again. Anyway, welcome to the last …
Well, it’s been a while, right? The last Songful Style was in November. The three of us decided to take December off, and I’m so glad we did. We still have some snow on the ground, but we’re now at that ugly, dirty stage where the mounds look more brown than white. It’s still chilly …
I usually ask how your summer is going, but I guess I need to ask how your fall is going. How is your spring going if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere? I hope, if you’re anywhere in the path of Hurricane Helene, you are safe and have power. We have had quite a bit of …
Holy heatwave, Batman! It is just plain miserable here in Central Indiana. Most of you can probably tell I’m a night owl. The temperatures have been in the 80s at 11:00pm! That’s approximately 29C! Thank goodness we have central air. The heat also makes my hair go flat right away which makes me feel even …
When I look back at this month, I don’t feel like I accomplished much of anything. But, I did get almost all of my plants planted. Do you ever buy flowers and plant most of them right away, then run out of steam? That’s me. I have a few left to plant, and there’s even …
What a month this has been! I’m sure you’re tired of hearing about the eclipse, but I was just bowled over by it. I doubt I’ll see another, but here’s to hoping I do! The weather is sunny, and I’m ready to get some ferns for the back porch. I still haven’t decided what to …
Spring has arrived in the Northern Hemisphere! But, I don’t think Mother Nature got the memo! The days are sunny but cool. I’ll take it as I am completely over the cold weather! Anyway, welcome to the last Monday in March and another edition of Songful Style! Suzy and Shelbee decided to riff (see what …
I have been taking naps! We got a new TV for the third bedroom. I turn on the electric blanket, crawl inside the cozy bed, turn the TV onto a baking show, and sleep! I guess I’ve only done it two days, but it’s a little out of the ordinary for me. I need to …
As I write this, would you believe it is about 60 degrees (15.6C) warmer than it was last week? We had an Arctic freeze, polar vortex, whatever you want to call it, it was frigid!! And, today, we had a high of 53 (11.7C)! The night before, we had such dense fog, it was a …
