How and When to Prune Shrubs

Prune Shrubs Properly

While working in the garden this weekend, I noticed at least four of my older shrubs are in dire need of pruning. They’re large and overgrown, and only seem to leaf out on the outside of the bush.

Peach Festival

Don't Forget the Ice Cream

Last year was my first trip to our local Peach Festival.  I had no idea what I had been missing.  It was hot summer day, but well worth the trip.  I made the trip with two dear friends and the three of us split a large crate of the best peaches I have ever eaten.

Among the booths filled with jewelry, art and food were booths filled with peach pies, peach smoothies, and peach cobblers.  We tried the peach smoothie—best I have ever had!  So we went back to find out how they made theirs.  They added peaches, peach yogurt, peach juice and ice. No measurements were given, so you can make it as thick or thin as you like.

Indoor Tea Garden

Add Flowers to Your Teapots

A Father’s Day Tribute

Happy Father's Day With Love

Any man can become a Father; it takes someone special to be a Dad.  Biologically, I didn’t have a choice in who my Father would be, however, at age 26 I chose the man who I will call Dad for the rest of my life.
