July: Monthly review

Posted on August 10, 2021 by carolee

Another month came to a close recently, but it seems barely noticed. That ritual of tearing off, or turning the calendar page to a new picture has been replaced by just a glance at the date on my phone that … Continue reading →

June: Monthly review

Posted on July 6, 2021 by carolee

April: Monthly review

Posted on May 5, 2021 by carolee

It’s late reporting the monthly review for March 2021, but the weather has been so gorgeous that it seemed justifiable to actually GARDEN rather than write about it! Here in north central Indiana, March was warmer than normal, despite some … Continue reading →

February: Monthly Review

Posted on March 2, 2021 by carolee

Snow arrived on January 31st and remained until February 26, except for a few piles where the driveway was plowed, and patches in the shade of the Lady Cottage and gazebo. I don’t know how more northern folks manage the … Continue reading →

January: Monthly review

Posted on February 4, 2021 by carolee
