All things new

April 29, 2013 by Amelia

I woke up to birds chirping this morning and the sun shining. Those are big deals around here, considering last week we had rain, snow and hail all on one day. I dug in the dirt in my garden this weekend. Even planted a few seeds. I’m reminded that the seasons do eventually change, and […]

Dealing With Growth Envy

May 4, 2011 by Amelia

I came home last weekend from Ohio as green as their grass with envy. Actually, our grass here in Michigan is green, but it’s nearly the only green thing. The trees in my parents’ town are loaded with green leaves, the magnolia trees are covered in dessert plate sized blooms and their gardens are filled […]

Spring is for New Life

March 31, 2011 by Amelia

Spring’s breaking. Or at least the school calendar says so even if the thermometer doesn’t yet. The sun seems to agree and has graced us with her presence all week long. I’ve been down on my hands and knees squinting at the dirt in my flower beds, and I see bits of green starting to […]

Spring's Arrival

April 13, 2010 by Amelia

We woke up this morning, and it seemed that overnight the trees have all bloomed. As I headed to the eye doctor (AGAIN), I wanted to get out every block and take pictures. After living in Florida for nearly 6 years, I don’t think I will ever take for granted the beauty of spring and […]
