An Investigation Begins

June 2, 2023 By Carol Leave a Comment

I waited until dark—which is quite late when you live on the western edge of the Eastern timezone—turned off the lights, and carefully, slowly, quietly parted the blinds so I could see out into the back garden. What did I see? I saw shadows across the patio where my porch light was on, but beyond that, where the vandalism took place, I saw only the dark. Did I think I had suddenly developed the ability to see everything in the dark? I had not. I needed a bit of light to see, as we … [Read more...] about An Investigation Begins

A Whodunit Mystery in My Garden

May 31, 2023 By Carol 1 Comment

It's that time of year when I usually discover the one Easter egg that no one found on Easter. But this year, I didn't discover it. Instead I saw the sparkle of the candy wrapper and thought it was just a piece of trash leftover from Easter... until I saw the open egg and the four quarters left on the ground nearby. This means someone(thing) else discovered it! Who? Let's examine the evidence so far! Whoever or whatever does not care a wit for money. They left the … [Read more...] about A Whodunit Mystery in My Garden

April 25, 2023 By Carol 3 Comments

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your ship's captain speaking. I wish to inform you that our voyage to Frost-Free is on schedule. We apologize to those who thought that our ship's earlier and faster than normal speed through some rather lovely—nearly summerlike—days gave the impression that we would arrive early in Frost-Free. However, as you can see, that is not going to be the case. We are on schedule for arrival sometime in May, which is when we usually arrive. In the … [Read more...] about Our Ship Is on Schedule…

We Must Not Dig It All

April 15, 2023 By Carol 1 Comment

Seeing the first hummingbird, hearing lawn mowers again, dropping tax forms—and a check—into the mailbox, or having to hunt again for an open parking spot at the local garden center, we each have our own way of knowing when it's truly spring, when it's time to shrug off our heavy coats, relax our shoulders a bit, and breath in deeply again. Winter is over. Since I was a child, seeing Spring Beauties, Claytonia virginica, in bloom was my way of knowing it was spring. I still look for those … [Read more...] about We Must Not Dig It All

Post Weeding Press Conference

April 3, 2023 By Carol 2 Comments

Transcript of a Post Weeding Press Conference... Carol, we noticed you spent almost two hours weeding today with just one break. How do you feel? I feel good. No particular aches or pains. I was able to get up and down easily and managed to finish my goal of weeding all along the fence in the Vegetable Garden Cathedral. What kind of weeds did you find out there? Oh, the usual. Lots of purple dead nettle, plus veronica, which I was tempted to leave because the flowers are so blue. But … [Read more...] about Post Weeding Press Conference

Garden Fairies: Our Big January Surprise

January 29, 2023 By Carol Leave a Comment

Garden fairies here! We are garden fairies and we are pleased to share that our big January surprise project worked! No, our big January surprise project was not to make these snowdrops bloom, though they are lovely and if you look closely at the picture you'll see there are four nice sized bunches of them drifting through the flower bed. Drifting! Now there's a word we don't think some AI whatever could write about flowers. Our big January surprise project is actually these crocuses … [Read more...] about Garden Fairies: Our Big January Surprise
