I didn’t do a whole lot on the floral front during Covid quarantine, but I did enjoy time exploring local trails, binging on Netflix, reading books (old and new!) and doing lots of creative things with my family—from painting to collage to music. Have a look!

Flowers are a source of comfort, hope and beauty, and they are also a reminder that life is cyclical. Think about Robert Frost’s poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay”. But they are always beautiful and they will never fail us, coming back to be part of our lives season after season and year after year.

It is October 15. A little late for my fall window boxes and urns, but that's ok. If there are still apples on the trees (which I discovered to be the case yesterday when I went apple picking with some of my favorite people!), then the time is still right to install some fall plantings and floral displays. And my window boxes certainly deserve to have some life injected into them after my summer of horrible neglect. (Actually, I was performing an experiment with them...I called it "Weeds or Winners?

And Sweet Potato Vine is a Betsy Winner for the 7th year in a row...it goes straight from summer right into fall. Love it! Oh, and I've found one really great looking weed, too. I just can't figure out what it is...a project for another day.)
