Spring in Winter

January 26, 2014 by Ogee

A declaration of drought has been made official in California – as if it were not obvious. With a soil rich in clay, and an abundance of drought hardy perennials, the Memorial Garden has fared better than most so far. We cannot count on that continuing…especially with temperatures in the 70’s in January. Ridiculous. So we’ll just revel in what we have today: Signs of spring in winter, birds in abundance, beautiful snowy faces, and the company of dogs. Rain […]

That Special Feeling

January 19, 2014 by Ogee

Given time and the opportunity, a garden will tell you what it needs. It’s part experience and part observation. You learn not to rush to conclusions – even when all hope appears to be lost. Given a chance, most plants will make a comeback from even the harshest mistreatment. Look for the signs, and they will tell you what they need to thrive. Wait long enough for a space to speak to you, and it will blossom right before your […]

Hopes Planted

January 12, 2014 by Ogee

The skies teased us this weekend. Dark clouds moved in, raising our hopes for rain. But a sprinkling was all Mother Nature had in store for us. Days like these are perfect for curling up and napping, dreaming of the warm months ahead – and that’s exactly what the garden is doing. If you look very closely, you’ll find the tiniest treasures under the blanket of grey and brown… including these two sweet faces… And this wonderful pair of dogs […]

Raining Joy

January 5, 2014 by Ogee

Between the two-week cold blast and the lack of rain this year, I’m beginning to wonder if we’ll have a garden this summer – of if we’ll just have to plant sage brush! I know. It’s sunny California and the rest of the country is freezing. But we had our freeze in December, and we have not had any meaningful rain in a year. Actually, we’re on year three of a state-wide drought. It is worrisome. No matter for the […]

2013 Remembered

January 1, 2014 by Ogee

“Gardens are a form of autobiography.” ~ Sydney Eddison This blog being a written and visual account of the life of the Homeward Bound Memorial Garden, the dogs that grace it and my time spent with both, I reflect back on the first day of the new year as we look forward to the second. In backwards order…some of the most memorable moments of the year: December: Linus and Charlie came too close to being lost, but angels were looking […]
