Finally, I have a greenhouse

We had ordered two greenhouse kits from Costco and when they arrived we put them together.
The photo above is NOT the Costco kit-greenhouse . . . that one lost it's pop-in windows the first storm we had.
We disassembled those and took them back
and then my most wonderful husband began to build me a real greenhouse of wood and glass
that will NOT blow away.

I know you know how i feel about having my own greenhouse. I am beside myself with joy!

. . . and yes . . . i might just move in there and live in it, LOL.

I have an old iron bed that will most definitely go inside. On warm summer nights whoever dares can sleep under the stars ~ ~ ~ the roof is glass too.

What's Happening Here??

My dear Under Gardener is building me a GREEN HOUSE ! Joy of Joys!
I'll post more pix of the progress~~~

My Garden ~ June 2007

Garden Tour ~ 2008

Welcome to the Garden Tour, Pacific Northwest area along the Oregon Coast.
Below you will see the photos I took while touring three separate gardens. Each garden has a unique style, from tall pines overlooking the shoreline, to country gardens complete with scarecrows.
The photos are not in any particular order.
Please enjoy your stroll through each one
and be sure to sample the Rosemary Sugar Cookies I made just for you.


Here we see the sun shining through the tall pine trees

Babies in My Garden

While working in my garden, I spotted this nest of something. What, I did not know. So I took a closer look.

Could it be?? Spiders? A nest of baby spiders?

I went running for my camera and after enlarging the frames I could see that yes, there were dozens of little spiders . . . not much bigger than the size of a pin head.

All welcome in my garden.

Blur

This little squirrel visits our deck each morning for the nuts we set out.

This morning we had two squirrels visit.

With my camera I caught a squrrel blur.
