Journeys and Flowers From the Gardens

The Closing Pages Bring Fond Memories

First - Yesterday while driving home from the golf course I spotted a Bald Eagle at the side of the road. I turned the car around and went back with my cell phone camera but he had flown away to a far distant tree. How beautiful he was with white head and massive white tail feathers.

Secondly - The gardens have been my first "green thumb" endeavor. One garden became the first of nine gardens. At age 70 I have acquired my first digital camera. It should be obvious how much fun the experience has been. A wonderful way to share otherwise not easily done.

This Journal concludes the Album Review. We now look forward to Spring and contemplate what we "canna" do to maintain your interest. Here is my plan:

The Orange Garden will be much larger because the Cannas have self propagated. Many were relocated from the Rose Garden last month and still more must be moved. The Walkway Garden will be a multi-varied rose garden to greet us and our guests. Those of you that remember the Copper Canyon display will see an increase nearly five fold in late summer. The propagating Butterfly Gingers will be plentiful at the Walkway Garden because the fragrance is magnificent as we pass them by. I've given numerous Gingers to our neighbors. Surprising is the Impatiens that have re seeded themselves and now flourish in the misting Greenhouse.  We've added six or seven new "Knock Out" Roses to the Walkway and Red Gardens because they are so trouble free and disease resistant. More will be added to the Gate Post Garden.

See you again in the Spring unless we take an exciting trip that is worthy of a Travel Journal.

Keep cool or warm if you prefer.
