I looked out my window the other day and found a squirrel eating the lettuce I use for lunch every day. He didn’t want to share!  I’ve had to run him off several times so I’m considering giving him his own pot near the tree where I’ve seen his nest. At least he’s healthy!
Something Mr Squirrel hasn’t gotten into yet is my ‘Red Rhubarb’ swiss chard that I put olive oil and fresh ground pepper on for a snack.
Last year my friend Chris (who I authored HEIRLOOM BULBS FOR TODAY with) gave me a bulb that was featured in our book, a Leucojum – or white snowflake. It was like I received it anew when I noticed it had come back up the other day!

One of the many perks with my job is the ability to work from anywhere with an internet connection. This week that perk took me west to spend a few days at my youngest daughter’s house in Abilene. She and her husband are new homeowners and in celebration of her 25th birthday we broke ground on a patio. The project will be a work in progress for a while, but we created the bones of the area and prepared a portion as a bed for new plants!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Sugar Land Home and Garden Show last weekend! There was a great turn out. A friend tried to grab a photo of me during the seminar but apparently I don’t stand still for very long 🙂

We had an appreciated torrential two inches of rain this week. While it forced me to slow down enough to realize I was a bit under the weather myself, my garden drank it up! Here’s what’s blooming outside my window today…
