Closed 'Til Spring

Winter's icy hands are just about upon us...and my cherished backyard cafe will be put to sleep. I will miss our mornings out on the patio drinking coffee while reading the paper, watching the birds, cats, squirrels and chipmunks scatter about. Weekend plans to stay home and garden or work on another project, or take a drive to the beach will have to wait until warmer weather.
After-dinner coffee or drinks were my favorite time of day... a cup of coffee and a good book, with the birds singing their good-nights.  I'll now sit inside, cozy and warm, wrapped up in a favorite throw on my cushy loveseat, reading my seed catalogs, books, dreaming of next year's spring... and wondering what surprises she'll bring.

My Garden


This is our Spring 2008 backyard garden. The wisteria was a knockout, and bloomed for almost a month. Unfortunately, she became so prolific we had to cut her waaaayyy back twice, so I doubt we'll have blooms for next year. This is what happens when you plant wisteria close to the house...
