Fly Away Home Again


For the second time this summer, I am flying home to Nova Scotia to check on my Mom. She's doing well, all things considered, but we worry anyway. This time around my sister Nancy is coming home from Ireland and we have a lot of catching up to do.

I am well behind on returning visits, but promise to drop by and say hello upon my return.

I leave you with an image of one of the prettiest things in the garden at the moment: Ornamental Onion, Allium 'Millenium'. The bees adore it.

Have a wonderful week!

    Hello Jennifer girl !
    Hope your trip was wonderful ... it mmust have been great to see your sister from Ireland !
    You asked about suckering from my Tiger Eye Sumac ? .. I have no problem with that issue at all.
    I had the Stag Horn sumac nearly drive me mad with it though .. so once that was out of the garden things got a lot better ! haha

    PS .. I do miss it in the Fall though .. it was my Halloween tree ! haha
