Living and Learning Through Play

April 30, 2017 by Ogee

“At first people refuse to believe that a strange new thing can be done, then they begin to hope it can be done, then they see it can be done–then it is done, and all the world wonders why it was not done centuries ago.” ~ Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden Last weekend, we brought in a team to teach us – or rather, reteach us – that a strange new thing really could be done. Years ago, play […]

When All Is New Again

April 23, 2017 by Ogee

“April hath put a spirit of youth in everything.” ~William Shakespeare The garden in April is both young and old. New friends appear… Old friends are reborn. The season was never over. It was just waiting for us to find it again. From cold ground covered in earth and leaves, springs forth our long-lost friends looking new and refreshed; ready to write another season – another chapter in our garden’s journey. “Age is opportunity no less, Than youth itself, though […]

Chief’s Gratitude

April 16, 2017 by Ogee

We have been blessed and blessed and blessed. And if April showers bring May flowers…we are in for quite a show. Our five years of drought are officially over – and with the weekly rains, our gardening has been largely on hold; called on account of cold, soggy ground. Quick to forget, people naturally stopped counting our blessings and started whining, prompting one of my favorite nurseries to send out an email: “Don’t be a grumpy gardener!” To complain about […]

Some Bunny To Watch Over You

April 12, 2017 by Ogee

Some of the bunnies at the dog rescue don’t stand much of a chance (yes…this is a toy!). But these little ones are strictly off limits. 🙂 “Some bunny” is watching over our newest additions.

Rescue is Only The Start

April 9, 2017 by Ogee

When we set out to save this Memorial Garden from returning to the earth, we had no idea where the journey would lead. It was a mission of rescue, re-creation, and re-envisioning. Today – it is this. But a garden is a living, breathing thing. It changes over time; plants grow and morph; and once-happy companions need to find new homes. Like our Dahlias – recently relocated – because their once-full-sun setting… has been cloaked in shade. Or this graceful […]
