New Year's Day

Here are pictures of my husband, Phil which were taken on New Year's Day this year when he went to the garden and dug up some carrots. Can you imagine digging carrots on Jan. 1st? We have had a very mild winter here. Wish it would get colder and snow.

damsel fly

We had one last year and now we have another. They look something like a dragon fly but aren't. This one was sitting on our chain link fence and my son took the picture. Beautiful, isn't it? Gail

gardening/paper envelopes

Today we have both a gardening related post and a rubber stamping post together. These are envelopes that Diana asked me to stamp on that she and others are going to fill with seeds to give to people. Obviously I don't really know much about who will be getting the seeds but do know how I decorated the envelopes. Mainly I used rubber stamping of many different company's stamps (I have a gadzillion stamps) then colored them with Marvy markers, colored pencils or Copics markers. Some of them have garden related stickers and others have a little glitter or glaze on them. Some I like and others that I did, not so much. Gail

more gardening

This time it's from Gail. My husband has had a veggie garden for a couple of years but this year is the best. We have been eating and sharing a lot of produce with a bunch of neighbors and friends. Here is a pic of some he gathered from the garden yesterday.
