Second winds

July 22, 2014 by Ogee

After weeks of scorching hot and dusty dry – we caught a weather break and had unseasonably mild temperatures for a bit. The garden got its second wind, and sent blooms skyward again. Spectacular Sunflowers… Dazzling Dahlias… Daylilies… A second round of Delphinium… And the long-awaited appearance of those elusive Naked Ladies. Then – on Sunday – something truly amazing: clouds and a very light rain. You don’t realize how much you miss those drops until you live in California […]

Rain Falling on Sunshine

March 2, 2014 by Ogee

There is a saying that God made rainy days so gardeners could get housework done. To heck with that. We had two storms move through this week. While they didn’t put a significant dent in our drought situation, the rain did bring welcome relief to our thirsty trees and gardens. Paired with warm temperatures, the flowers, leaves – and weeds – are exploding. So, a showery – sometimes rainy – day was not going to deter us from enjoying the […]

Healing hearts

July 29, 2013 by Ogee

“The human heart has a way of making itself large again even after it’s been broken into a million pieces.” ― Robert James Waller, The Bridges of Madison County There is no right or wrong way to heal from loss. Some people need time and retreat. Others find comfort among others. Sometimes, the best thing for heartache is to open your heart to another. Human loss and canine loss may not be the same thing, but canines have a way […]

Welcome Relief

July 4, 2013 by Ogee

9:09 PM. 94-degrees. Today is supposed to mark the end of a seven-day stretch of 100+ temperatures in the Sacramento Valley. By some miracle, we are supposed to get to a high of only 95 tomorrow. Someone, please grab my parka! The flowers in the Homeward Bound Memorial Garden are more than ready for some relief. Pups too. This is Bailey. She’s hot. This lucky dog has found his relief; not just a shady spot, but a long-awaited home. Tom […]
