Sharing camping vibes on a trip to the Emerald Coast of Florida.

I’ll never forget the first time I got a glimpse of the turquoise blue ocean waters of Destin, Florida. My husband had a business conference near Panama City and after the conference was over…

Easy Moss Crafts for a Beautiful Easter

Easter is on April 5th this year, 2026. Although it is still 2 months away, I recently thought about some Easter creations. I made them with plants and moss a few years ago. You can use sheet moss, Spanish moss, reindeer moss, mood moss, sphagnum moss, or faux moss. In my examples below, I used two or three types of natural live moss....

Memorable Container Garden Designs to Revisit

Here's ten container gardens which I fell in love with and why from my past creations. I plan to show 10 at a time over the next months. Why? Because I will be deleting the photos from my database soon and it is a way to savor the memories! Hanging Baskets with a Mix of Houseplants One year, I created many hanging baskets with various houseplants for sale....

Oceanfront Camping at Moorings RV Resort in Belfast, Maine

If you haven't visited the town of Belfast in Maine, you are missing out. My sister discovered it over 10 years ago and quickly decided to settle there. At the time, I don't think it was all that well-known, but the secret is out now. The town of Belfast is a community driven place with a charming Main Street and many historic looking buildings....

Growing Tomatoes: My 5-Year Passion

About the year of 2020 or maybe it was the year before, I started getting into sowing tomato seeds. That carried on for about 5 years. It became a passion and I always grew the plants in my large patio pots, rather than a garden. Here in this photo above are some of my plants in large pots. The chicken wire was there to keep wild animals (like squirrels or chipmunks) away....

Colorful Balcony Plants for Extreme Weather

These are photos of vivid reds and yellow blooms in large patio pots showcased on a high-rise balcony. As you can see, the yellows and reds of the flowers on these plants stand out. They are also very drought tolerant. And full sun lovers. I planted this combination on a high-rise balcony many years ago. The conditions up there were brutal in the summers at times....

Essential Greens for Holiday Wreaths: A Visual Reference

Most of my former or current followers are aware of my holiday workshops. They were held to make wreaths and kissing balls. I obtained some of the best greens around and made sure the mix was of good quality. But alas, those workshops are now memories. I continue to say good bye to past events related to my small plant business....

Mini the Cat: A Tale of Survival and Love

She looks like a princess here, doesn't she? My beautiful, adorable, black cat. She is named Mini. I picked that name because she is more on the petite size. She never overeats. She only gains a little more weight in the winter months from less activity. Mini, our cat, is still with us at the age of 13, we think. The vet estimated her age the first time I took her to the vet as a stray kitten....

Camping Tips for the Rhythm & Roots Music Fest

Music, dancing, food, vendors and fun with camping options. Sounds wonderful, doesn't it? The only drawback, at least for me, is it is dry camping. Or "camping in the rough" as they call it. Camping without the full hook-ups is really not my gig. My husband was sure we would be fine. We have a generator with the camper. But I know I like my amenities....

Cheer Up Winter with Sunflower Photos from CT

The temperatures are getting colder here in CT during mid-January. To cheer up my day and yours, I thought I'd post some sunflower pics. I took them at a farm in Ellington, CT one summer. Oakridge Farm plants them. Look at this view of a photo I took. So many sunflowers! Lots of bees that day too. I took about 40 photos with my i-Phone....
