A Garden’s Friend
by Ogee
As dog is man’s (and woman’s) best friend – I find that Lavender is the garden’s. A loyal giver, and a hard worker – it offers much to its surroundings. Its strong sturdy stalks support delicate sweet flowers. Its soft blue grey goes along and gets along with everyone. It rebounds well from adversity, spreads heavenly perfume… expects little, and gives a lot. Happy to be a supporting player – but fully capable of leading the charge. It is a […]

Elfin Magic
by Ogee
There are elves among us. I don’t know where they hide, but they leave their mysteries and mischief all over the garden.

I was touched and honored this week when a woman reached out to request a copy of a “going home” day photo I took earlier this year. I remember the day so clearly. The woman was 80; the dog she chose was also in her sunset years. […]

Brown is the New Green
by Ogee
This summer, it seems the weather forecast is always wrong. Friday was 110. This weekend was supposed to hover near the century mark. Instead, someone ordered up a breeze and clouds. Rainless clouds. But clouds, nevertheless. We have been surfing temperature waves all summer. Peaks and dips. They are taking their toll on the garden. The USDA declared a drought disaster for California, now listed as being in “exceptional drought.” Fires are breaking out everywhere. The forecast calls for a […]
