In the Garden
It has been dark & stormy here for a few days {though I think the sun came out yesterday...I cannot even remember}. But inbetween the clouds our peonies bloomed! We planted them last year & after much anticipation the frilly pink petals are here. I look forward to having more & more each year. There is something about being able to take a few steps into your backyard & having the most beautiful flowers...& then promptly cutting them & bringing them inside!...

garden girl
I am on an England kick lately. Oh, and a garden kick. Maybe I am just out of the loop, but have you noticed a lack of garden-focused , inspirational blogs? Luckily, I just came across this lovely Tumblr, Gardening in Heels. I am a predictable, boring, cliché. You can show me a million different versions of the English girl in a cottage garden photo shoot and I will never tire of it. My dreams are made of this stuff.Photo from Elle via Gardening in Heels and Dust Jacket Attic....

growing gardens
Since it's Thanksgiving time, I'd love to tell you about Growing Gardens, my favorite non-profit here in Portland. Growing Gardens offers a long-term, creative solution to the hunger problem. For three years, they work with a low-income family. First, assisting with a raised bed (or balcony garden) installation, and then offering mentoring so the family can grow their own organic food.
