Yellowstone

September 30, 2018 by Ogee

The Native Americans called it “Burning Mountains.” They thought an evil spirit lived among the meadows, rivers, forests, and towering mountains. If you witnessed the geysers or stepped into one of the scalding pools – you might think so too. But good spirits live here. Animal spirits. Nature spirits. I have just returned from my first (long overdue) trip to Yellowstone National Park. It is magnificent. I traveled with my friend and fellow gardener, Maria, and her son. There were […]

At the Heart of Gardening…and Rescue

September 16, 2018 by Ogee

He not only didn’t budge – he made his way inside. That earned him a name: Kermit. And a trip to the vet to ensure that […]

The one that got away

September 2, 2018 by Ogee

My husband says I should compile a montage of all the puppies we have fostered in the last couple of years. Note to self. I’ll get right on that. Our latest, Buddy, went and got himself adopted. A beautiful Chocolate Lab, he was surrendered at four months of age for being a puppy. His people – apparently divided in their decision to purchase him – took on more than they could manage or agree upon. As a result, Buddy was […]
