Our Adventure

September 29, 2013 by Ogee

“When you see someone putting on his Big Boots, you can be pretty sure that an Adventure is going to happen.” ~ A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh Two years ago next month, the Homeward Bound Memorial Gardeners put on their “big boots” to rescue an acre of weeds and bring forth a garden. And what an adventure it has been! Today, while Peggy and Steve began dividing the iris, Ina, Sarah and I installed the entry beds. We got to reminiscing about […]

Grey Skies

September 21, 2013 by Ogee

Saturday, the skies turned dark, thunder clapped, and we were treated to a brief downpour – unseasonable for us this time of year. The garden is loving it. With the cooler temperatures and extra drink, everything burst forth in bloom. The light was different and the colors more subdued – but beautiful bathed in warm grey. Love the sound of these wind chimes in the rustling trees. My idea of church. I’m really pleased with how these drifts have developed. […]

Our Joy

September 16, 2013 by Ogee

The garden served up its usual beauty this weekend. Fall is beginning its advance and the flowers and their friends are grateful for the more moderate temperatures and cool nights. Their appreciation is clearly on display. But the most beautiful moments of the weekend did not involve flowers. First, new bricks were installed in the Memorial pathway. I donated this one for one of my very first blogger friends, Deborah at Romancing the Bee and her beloved companion recently departed […]

Time to Appreciate

September 9, 2013 by Ogee

There’s one major drawback to an all-volunteer organization: when you want to have a Volunteer Appreciation Picnic, everyone has to work harder so we can appreciate ourselves. The annual event was held Sunday at Homeward Bound, which meant days of primping, weeding, cooking, and fussing to make the rescue look perfect and create a Thanksgiving-worthy feast. It was also the official Memorial Garden Dedication, and the garden was dressed for the occasion. Gina and Sarah did the flower arranging (with […]
