Birds

 We've had so many birds enjoying the garden lately...particularly the sunflowers and the grapes. Often I will open the back door and step outside, only to find a dozen or more quail quickly scampering away. One day I grabbed my camera and snuck outside quietly so I could get a few photographs. I also find birds under the grapevines with grapes in their mouths.  Antoher day I was practicing my violin when I saw a swarm of red-winged blackbirds land in the garden. They don't visit the yard often, so I grabbed my camera and went outside. Here are a coupl ..read more

Scarlet Runner Beans

 The past several years I have grown scarlet runner beans at my house. Every single year I am amazed at how quickly they grow and how beautiful each stage is. The other bonus is that they attract hummingbirds. Just to add some scale to the size of these beans when fully grown... The blooms are red and then turn into tiny beans...which grow into huge beans. If you open the bean pods while they are green, the beans are bright pink. If you let the bean pods dry out, the beans are black and purple.  I'm linking up with  Seasons,  Wedn ..read more

 Even though we are in mid-October, there is still so much happening in the garden. We are expecting our first freeze this week and I'm sad to face saying goodbye to the dahlias, cosmos and zinnias which all still have buds blooms. I've been making so many bouquets  - for myself and for others - to try to use up and enjoy as many flowers as possible.  Recently my girls and I dressed up and went out for "girls night out"...it was so much fun.  We've also been treated to some pretty spectacular views of Mt. Hood lately. One on a hike and the other was the se ..read more

Dahlia Garden

 Last fall a friend of mine gave me several dahlia tubers from her garden. I decided to turn this spot into my new dahlia garden. Last summer this was a sunflower and pumpkin patch.  I added some stepping stones and mulch, then set about adding some plants to the outside area.  Every month I loved it even more! It has become such a beautiful and special area and I already have plans to expand it next year.  These are the dahlias I currently have. Today I ordered 7 different kinds to plant next year.  I'm linking up with  ..read more

Sunflowers in the Garden

I'm back from a much needed blogging break... The sunflowers in my garden are just spectacular. I'm always amazed that so much beauty can come from a simple seed. Some of sunflowers barely grow and produce tiny, delicate flowers. Others grow taller than my house and produce huge flowers and/or multiple flowers. One single stalk in my garden has over 20 blooms on it!   When I saw this particular sight one morning last week, I was struck by the fact that I wait all year for this exact sight. I save my seeds and dream about planting them all winter. In the spring I eagerly wait ..read more
