Symphony of Spring

March 29, 2015 by Ogee

As the season starts to turn, it seems to happen at a snail’s pace…literally. It’s like the orchestra tuning to find that perfect pitch. Things seems to unfold in starts and fits, and we keep saying…”just wait.” And then, after an almost unbearable pause…the symphony begins. Every tree is dressed in leaves and blossoms, and every sleepy plant and creature awakens. When I am away during the week, I miss the Memorial Garden. This weekend, the return took my breath […]

Accidental Gardener

March 22, 2015 by Ogee

I am an accidental gardener. Come to think of it, I’m an accidental everything: gardener, photographer, blogger, and rescue supporter. These were not planned; I was just drawn to them and happened upon people who graciously showed me the way. A fellow blogger, Helen Johnstone of the Patient Gardener’s Weblog, shared a new book: the “First Ladies of Gardening.” Normally, a title like that would put me straight off. But I admire Helen’s blog, so I ordered it. And I’m […]

Something to Dream On

March 15, 2015 by Ogee

“She turned to the sunlight And shook her yellow head, And whispered to her neighbor: “Winter is dead.” ~ A.A. Milne, When We Were Very Young With a brief, but welcome rain this week, followed by unseasonably warm temperatures, the garden truly came to life. I should stop saying “unseasonably warm” and just get accustomed to it. Those who don’t believe in climate change surely are not gardeners. Sarah is back; returned from a year of hard labor on the […]
