Comments (13)I woke up this a.m., looked around and then I remembered so I said it. Then said it to DH so we're good to go! Floral, I've not heard of that one...sounds like fun too....See MoreShow Us Your Landscape and Gardens-A Photo Thread -Dec 2022-March 2023
Comments (11)Okay, now I have some time to see everyone’s photos and post a couple. Deanna - Nice group of photos - I didn’t winter sow this year, I’d love to see what you do with the Clarkia later. That is a pretty winter scene. We were fortunate not to lose power too, but we barely had 5 inches of snow. Friends and family in NH lost their power overnight and then got it back by noon the next day, thankfully. They had almost 15 inches of wet heavy snow. Your crocus patch looks vigorous! Mine are a little anemic this year. That sunset is amazing - not just a few clouds coloring, but the whole sky! Cute cat…does it live outdoors? Sue, I guess you can tell where you have the most shade by where you still have snow left. Another patch of crocus that looks very vigorous! Love that! Your backlit Hellebore is so pretty! My foliage was pretty yellow when it first sprouted. Yours looks like it has large leaves. MGallica - LOVE the snowdrops! That is a lot of volunteers from a small planting. I just started planting snowdrops about 5 years ago and I was impressed by how much they reseed, so I decided last fall to add more in other areas. They came up fine but now I’ll have to wait to see them make a good showing. Here is the spread I had that was also from a very small amount of the original bulb… This Hellebore is always the first one up... Not a good day to try to get the crocus it's windy. This location is the only place in the garden I still have crocus. The critters ate a lot of different varieties of them. Not sure the name of the purple but it reseeds prolifically. I have a bed on the other side of the driveway from here that has only reseeded crocus from this bed. I don't know if you can see it but the rabbits were chewing on my Clethra this winter. They also chewed all the stems on a small Calycanthus so low I had to cut it back to the ground....See MoreWhat are you reading? November 2023 Edition
Comments (57)A while ago my book club read Leave the World Behind, by Rumaan Alam. We all enjoyed it and had a great discussion about it. Someone noticed that it's been made into a movie for Netflix, so we are going to have a viewing party to watch. Staring Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke. If you are at all interested in the movie, I would suggest reading the book first - just because it's one that I think using your own imagination would be better before the visuals are put in place for you by the movie. I'm quite interested in how they depict some of the elements of the book. It's "light" dystopian/thriller- I am not a fan of dystopian usually (tho I did like the Hunger Games) but did really like this book....See MoreBest Reads of 2023
Comments (9)Donnamarie - My apologies for taking so long to respond to this thread. I always enjoy seeing everyone's previous-year list of favorites, but apparently we let your thread slip down the list without replying. It was not intentional. I hope others will add their favorites also. 2023 was not a year of great reads for me, but here are the ones I liked best: Remarkably Bright Creatures -- Shelby Van Pelt By far my favorite read of 2023. It's hard to explain why this is so good. You just have to trust me and read it. How Lucky -- Will Leitch This was probably on my 2022 list also, because I read it twice in two years. Such an interesting story about a severely disabled man doing his best to help out in the world. The Burgess Boys -- Elizabeth Strout The story of three adult siblings who share a bad memory from childhood, each now having problems in adulthood and their attempts to help one another ... sort of. Anne of Green Gables -- L. M. Montgomery After knowing about this book for about 60 years, I finally read it ... and enjoyed it. A Week in Winter -- Maeve Binchy I've read a lot of Maeve Binchy in my time, but never this one until now. Very typical of Maeve Binchy, so if you like her other books, you'll like this one too. It's about the first week of a newly opened guest house on the west coast of Ireland. Spare -- Prince Harry and his ghost writer This was not exactly a favorite, but I feel compelled to list it because it was not as bad as many naysayers wanted us to think. I found the parts about his childhood and military service interesting. The part about his wife ... well, I say let those among us who never had a regrettable romantic entanglement be the ones to cast stones. He seems very much in love....See Morevee_new
