My love affair with a particular flower has been going on for several years now. With champagne taste on a beer budget, I rarely get my hands on this flower and have to be content with occasional encounters. Last May Chris and Dr. Welch led a garden tour in England and on Jersey Island. Tramping [...]

Monday…um…Chores?
It dawned on me once again that my life may look a little odd to an outsider peering in. It’s not every day that your husband responds with… “Go out to the farm on your way to the post office and pick some flowers to arrange here in the cabin.” …after you ask him what [...]
First Blooming Daffodils and Narcissus of the Year
Yesterday I emerged from the cabin for the first time in days. The sickness that had kept me on my back had subsided enough that I felt healthy for a walk on the farm with Rebecca. Rebecca wrote about our journey and made some arrangements for the blog yesterday. I am glad we went on [...]
Goodbye Weekend, Hello Monday
The last several days have not been normal. Chris has been bed ridden with the flu, and well, when the boss is sick around here, things have a way of screeching to a halt. It’s not that he is a horrible patient or anything… Let’s just say, he learned a valuable lesson. The nursing profession [...]

Instead, Rebecca has been nursing me, making me breakfast in bed, and picking bouquets of campernelles (Narcissus x [...]

Her name is Stephanie Baker, and she runs a business called Ready to Grow Gardens (her website is www.readytogrowgardens.com). I will come back to this later, but first let me take this [...]
Ft Worth, I love you.
Returning to the farm after a fabulous time in Fredericksburg, in his typical, so darn attractive, optimistic style, The Bulb Hunter crammed too many appointments on our afternoon drive back. This left us stuck in Fort Worth 5 o’clock traffic just before the exit leading to downtown. We did what any young couple would do [...]
Valentines at the Cabin
Well, a lot has happened since Fredericksburg, but with a flight to Nashville tomorrow and only this one busy day home on the farm going through frozen bulbs, I am slightly discouraged and out of time! One moment of peace today came this evening with Valentines dinner. We had a guest, one of Rebecca’s friends, [...]
