Four years ago, I planted small, Regal lily bulbs and each year they’ve gotten taller when they bloom . This last year they were well over 6 feet. I dug them up this morning and divided them - they were enormous, the size of softballs. So now they won’t be so crowded. Gophers love lilies so they have to go in gopher baskets when they’re planted or they wouldn’t last a week.

In my kitchen this year I put up a tree filled with two of my favorite things , birds and pinecones. I spend so much time in the kitchen and this happy little tree with its own little gnome makes me smile.

This beautiful countryside here in Sonoma County. Each morning I walk up and over a hill right outside our front door and the winter light on the pastures is gorgeous.

I have a friend in Pauline. Each morning I feed her scratch out of my hand before she heads out into the garden. She is a refugee from the chicken farm up the road who escaped and found us one day.

This bathroom renovation was a success. Bigger shower, nice big tub and lots of clean old school Carrera Marble for a fresh updated look. Of course a beautiful antique Mirror doesn’t hurt. .dolezal

Yesterday in the mail I received Halloween candy from the person in this image, one of my favorite people, Ms. Sylvia Neth. She was my art teacher in ninth grade. She came to visit me here in Petaluma about four years ago When we took this picture. We still communicate every holiday. She is so dear to me.

Will start closing down the lathe house this next week. It’s such a shady comfortable place to share a meal all summer long. All the begonias and fuchsias need a nice long rest.

Here we are almost at the end of August and the roses and the Mallow are still going strong – this beautiful David Austin Rose has bloomed continually this year. She’ll deserve a good rest as fall approaches. The Mallow is Kew Gardens .

Our kitties are spayed and neutered thanks to forgotten felines. So now I felt they deserved their own food bowls. These just came out of the kiln.

Just got home and this evening’s light was so beautiful on the perennial borders. This year I planted some corn in among all the other perennials and annuals and I really like the effect, like tall big blades of grass. I have gotten so much inspiration from watching Bunny Guinness and walking around the Gardens of Filoli.

This years peaches are the best we’ve had, the orchard is now seven years old so I think everything is settled in and each tree knows it’s job. Spent this morning making peach pie filling. It’s got a nice almond and cinnamon flavor and I will use it all this fall and winter. The prep on the peaches takes some time but I got 10 1/2 gallon jars done in a little under seven hours. Not so bad, a good Sunday mornings work here at the Grange. 🍑

In the shady spots in the cottage garden these nasturtiums just reseeded themselves each year. They seem to like afternoon shade somewhat. Planted in full sun they fade by this time of year without a ton of water. So I just let these guys bloom where they are planted.

Sometimes you just have to go with the flow. The baskets planted last fall with pansies and Alpine strawberries are still going strong I just don’t have the heart to take them out and replace them with the summer annuals. So I’m going to see how they do, I know I will get some more tasty strawberries.
