This blog is about my garden and the outdoors. I am new to photography but I am trying to show some of the pretty things that grow here in Michigan. I love the wild things who visit me and I dont mind if they eat a bit here and there. I like it more if they let me take their picture. As time goes on I think I will try to show you around the beautiful area that I live in as well as my garden. I try to use my own pictures as much as possible but will also use pictures from the web. If I inadvertently use your photo or work without permission please email me and I will remove it or give credit if you prefer. I will give credit when I know who the owner is. I would ask that anyone using my pictures do the same.

My Garden today.............

Today its raining. It's rare to have this sort of winter in Michigan. Most folks are happy about not having to deal with snow, but then the skiiers and winter sports enthusiasts are not at all happy. As we can not change the way the weather works I will enjoy it. The down size is the garden looks horrible. If it was not so close to Christmas I would be out there working on getting it shaped up for Spring its the perfect temperatures to do that. I just don't have the energy left over to do that on top of everything else there is to do. I have decorated the porch with a few things.
The bench has Christmas cushions and looks spiffy.

I have a candle that I made many years ago when I was doing ceramics. That stays alight all the time.

The snowman sits in the red rocking chair. That and the bench will have to have a coat of paint in the Spring. Both are in big need of repair and freshening up and I need to stop the wet getting into the wood.

I have poinsetias around and about on the porch to brighten things up. We did get the lights up
but my husband did a sloppy job. I will have to rectify that when I can. Maybe my son will do it for me as he is coming home tomorrow. Everything will look better with snow.

The poor reindeer are looking like they had an argument and are not speaking to each other, the front of the house is no better but at least there are lights. That's a start.
