Reversible Holiday Blocks - Thanksgiving

Today I’m sharing a fun and easy craft project – Reversible Holiday Blocks. There are tons of these on Pinterest and that’s where I originally came up with the idea.  I actually did this a few years ago and did not save the link to the initial pin that caught my eye, so unfortunately I […]

Endless Summer Hydrangeas

What an amazing fall we’ve had here in Minnesota. I just had to show you all these crazy Endless Summer Hydrangeas. They didn’t bloom at all in the summer, but started putting out tons of buds around the last week in September. We’re going to get a hard frost the next three nights, so I […]

DIY Chalkboard Sign

After planting a bunch of daylilies and daffodil bulbs on my day off this week, I took a little break from gardening to make this fast and simple chalkboard sign.

Monarch Butterflies on Meadow Blazingstar Liatris

Monarch Butterflies, YES, they were here! I just have to share this update to my Garden Tour post yesterday. Remember this: On our way to the front yard, I want to show you this Meadow Blazingstar Liatris. I’ve never grown this variety of liatris and I think it’s lovely. So do the butterflies, but apparently […]

Garden Tour - Solanna Golden Sphere Coreopsis, Arizona Sun Gaillardia, Butterfly Bush

I’m just not ready for summer to end. Here in Minnesota the temps are in the 70s and we’ve had ample rain, so the grass, veggies and flowers are very lush and green. Since everything is looking so good, I decided to do another “Stroll Through Gingham Gardens,” or more commonly known as a garden […]

I did the planting and then little grand buddy helped me sit up the gnomes, their houses and their accessories, including a dog and a frog. He pretty much rearranges […]
