Blessed

November 28, 2013 by Ogee

“For flowers that bloom about our feet; For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet; For song of bird, and hum of bee; For all things fair we hear or see, we thank Thee.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson For the peace I have found, the friends I have made and the countless rescued dogs that have touched my heart through my journey with the garden, this blog and Homeward Bound, I am thankful. “Happiness is something that comes into our lives through […]

Fall’s Grace

November 24, 2013 by Ogee

“For the Fall of the year is more than three months bounded by an equinox and a solstice. It is a summing up without the finality of year’s end.” ~ Hal Borland This blank spot in the perennial bed signals the end of a season, as the Dahlias have been lifted and stored for the winter. The weather this weekend was beautiful after a stormy start to the week, so Daylilies were divided, bulbs planted, and giant holes filled in […]

Here Comes Santa (Already)

November 17, 2013 by Ogee

Not much gardening went on this weekend. With Santa visiting Homeward Bound, all the elves were busy getting the dogs dressed in their holiday finest for photos, including a couple here from our friend Rob. From naughty… to nice… we’re getting in the holiday spirit before Thanksgiving so everyone’s pictures will be ready for on-time card mailing this year. Poor Santa; so exhausted, and he still has to head back to the North Pole to get ready for the big […]

In Good Garden Company

November 10, 2013 by Ogee

“A garden is never so good as it will be next year.”~ Thomas Cooper It seems there is always another project to prepare the Homeward Bound Memorial Garden for the next season. Last week it was the iris bed; today, some 400 daffodil bulbs sat waiting to be planted for the spring. So nothing delighted me more than to see a small army of our gardeners show up today. With Diane, Peggie, Ina and camera-shy Maria on hand, the garden […]

Brought here, by you

November 3, 2013 by Ogee

“There is something delicious about writing the first words of a story. You never quite know where they’ll take you.” ~ Beatrix Potter Gardens for Goldens passed a small milestone this week; 1,000+ followers. When I began this blog two years ago this month I envisioned a simple journal of our efforts to create a place of peace for Homeward Bound’s extended family while hoping to inspire a love of rescue. Through the process of chronicling the garden, I have […]
