Soooo--while I was getting to know my sweet new granddaughter, my garden back home went into hyper mode. Here is a picture of what I had waiting for me when I got home. The hammer is for a demonstration of size.

Coming Home

I was running low on batteries on my camera, so I didn't take a picture of me getting on the train to return home. My sweet son made me a lunch for the train and it sure was good too. I had cheese, crackers, and the sweetest, juiciest plum I've ever tasted. Then he put in a couple of Dr. Peppers and I was set for the long ride. I've become a grandmother recently and it has colored my life pink. I just love my new little grandchild. So I think this blog is going in a new direction from now on. Oh, I'm still gardening, but first and formost, I am a grandmother now. On June 10, 2010 Maria came into my life and from the first time I held her, I knew we would have a very close relationship. Her smiles tickle my insides. I love her. You know what, she likes to be outside, too. I can picture her helping grandma in the garden. So here's Maria!

Introducing another one of our new plants. So, so, so beautiful!

We had a very hard winter causing the loss of many plants. I just decided to replace them with roses. So I'd like to introduce you to Mon Cherie. What a glorious bloom!
