Wasted beans

snow covered orament and dried green beans in the garden

Why I was wandering around my backyard on New Years day I can’t remember, but that’s when I decided to take a photo of the metal sun ornament that I’d hung up on the back of our enclosed porch last year.

Those poor beans that went to waste before I could pick them make an interesting accent against the cold metal sun don’t they?

Sunny days are back!

Wordless Wednesday

Well after all that snow and our long cold winter it’s finally sunny over here in Toronto!

It’s a nice change. It’s been so dark and gray the sun is almost like a special treat.

I was just thinking yesterday as I watched our puppy lying in the kitchen with the sun shining on her sleek black coat that she hasn’t seen much sun yet in her short life. Nor has she really been able to enjoy lying in a sun beam.

I think she’ll be a real sun love just like these sunflowers!

Isn’t it time you accessorized your garden?

by Tricia

In my part of the world many of us are only dreaming about our gardens since they are still covered in snow or if not covered in snow the ground is still to cold to begin to work in. Still … many of us are probably beginning to think about what we’ll plant in our gardens this year, and if you’re like me your probably getting a little stir crazy indoors.

I certainly can’t wait for Spring to get here!

If you’re a gardener or perhaps hoping to start your first garden this year you’re probably busy making lists of plants you want to get for your garden, and starting some seeds indoors. While plants are the main feature of the garden don’t forget the accessories.

You can give your garden it’s own style or infuse a little more of your personality or even your sense of humor with garden decor an ornaments.

The article that I’m including below talks about how to accessorize your garden. Have you accessorized? I’d love to hear what you’ve done or even see some pictures!
