I returned to the lake after being away two weeks and found wet leaves, leaves, and leaves. And there are many more to fall. The featured photo and the one below were taken after I had already cleared the driveway (car smashed wet leaves on concrete are a double, staining mess). Unfortunately, it has not …
It has been two months since I've written a Six on Saturday post, although there have been several Wordless Wednesday photos. My schedule, the weather, and the garden just did not seem conducive to a longer post. In the meantime, I hope readers have been going to the site of The Propagator to view his …
My garden is essentially green these days, except for a few spots of color from some very worn black-eyed Susans and yellow rosin weed flowers, and from my favorite wildflower, excepting those black-eyed Susans--the Carolina lily (Lilium michauxii) pictured in the featured image.

This week's six are all flowering plants that just come up where they will among the leaves and in the so-called lawn. The only credit I can take for them is that I don't cut them down with the lawn tractor or the edger. But for the most part, they are bright-faced little plants and …
I'm posting much later than usual this Saturday after a Thursday of watching at least 14 tornadoes skip across Alabama, sitting for a while in my safe place with a bicycle helmet on, and discovering that the storms blew out my internet modem and now not-so-smart tv. Surely there are already dozens on lovely SoS …
I want to remind my email followers again to click on the blue title of the post to switch from email to the web to see the featured photo and get a better layout. And I want to remind all readers to visit the page of The Propagator for a feast of photos and guidelines …
1. Plants are finally beginning to bloom! The daffodils and the hellebores are the most energetic right now. And they begin my six today. First the daffodils, which are blooming in bunches throughout the wooded area of the garden. I can't specify a particular variety other to say they are Daffodil Gert's garden, that is …
