Breathe
The Midnight Garden | August 25th 2008 by Greg
The other day, Jenn wondered what it might look like inside the sunflower blossom, and so this morning, I was able to catch a couple closer shots of this latest yellow mammoth, as context for this very busy bumbler. Each of them should get a bit big read more
Gold Medal Monday
The Midnight Garden | August 11th 2008 by Greg
I'm playing catch-up a little this evening, as these are all Sunday images, starting with these noon-time portulacas. I hadn't share any in a while, and this was a nice trio.I'm glad I held on to a few pictures from Sunday, too, since today was a pr read more
Brilliant Colors
The Midnight Garden | July 27th 2008 by Greg
Sunday already. And as an extra surprise, it's suddenly almost August. Darn, that happens every July. Wasn't it just the Fourth? Anyway...it started out as a lovely day, bright and sunny, not too warm, almost no humidity. On the whole, t'was ver read more
Sunday Garden Report
The Midnight Garden | July 20th 2008 by Greg
Through some unfortunate set of circumstances I've yet to completely comprehend, I found myself awake at 6:30 this morning. Not a bad thing, per se, unless you've stayed up until 2:00 a.m. watching the first Michael Keaton Batman movie on television read more
Meme-Day
The Midnight Garden | July 14th 2008 by Greg
Having posted at a reasonable hour last night, I thought I was going to get to sleep at a reasonable time, too. But then I installed the Babel Fish widget, in hopes of being more welcoming to foreign blog-readers...and then stayed up entirely too lat read more
Daisies and Other Things
The Midnight Garden | July 13th 2008 by Greg
The daisies really are at their peak right now. I have only just started to see the first fading blooms which will need to be dead-headed shortly. For now, their show is glorious and entertaining and sort of happy-making at that, and so I thought t read more
Summer Days
The Midnight Garden | July 11th 2008 by Greg
Well, the days certainly slip by quickly here in July. I never got around to posting yesterday. My computer sort of reminded me recently that there are other things to summertime life besides blogging. You see, I have this CD burner that is usually read more
Fireworks of the Floral Variety
The Midnight Garden | July 5th 2008 by Greg
Sorry to say that after the parade on Friday, the weather began to take a bit of a turn for the remainder of the holiday weekend. By late Friday night, it was raining and Saturday morning's early hours wore a foggy misty cloak of gray.After having s read more
An Award-Winning Day
The Midnight Garden | July 2nd 2008 by Greg
This first snapdragon is now blooming top to bottom. In fact, the lowest blooms have already left the stem to flutter down to the garden floor. And the scent is fun, too--like red Kool-Aid!!I'm really pleased with my decision to plant all the portu read more
Last Sunday in June
The Midnight Garden | June 29th 2008 by Greg
Another daylily country heard from this morning, as this one opened amidst a jumble of curly grass to the right and rudbeckia to the left (and pansies and allyssum all around). It seemed to me it has a little more red in it than the others, and is a read more
Sunshine Saturday
The Midnight Garden | June 28th 2008 by Greg
Ahh, Saturday morning. I was apparently quiet as I came out the front door with my first cuppa joe today, as I had been sitting for a minute or more, the caffeine slowly prying my eyes open, before I realized that one of my bunny friends was enjoyin read more
Friday Morning
The Midnight Garden | June 27th 2008 by Greg
Eighty-eight days after the first seeds were planted, this first sunflower has turned its face toward the sun and begun to bloom. Over the course of those 88 days, I've also planted a variety of sunflower seeds in waves, and so I hope we'll have thi read more
Life In the Garden
The Midnight Garden | June 26th 2008 by Greg
The clematis vine on the lamp post out front is blooming well, now. It's kind of fun to have something so spectacular to enjoy in the morning sun. At first, I thought these flowers would just have four petals, but now that they have fully unfurled read more
Ain't No Sun Up In The Sky...
The Midnight Garden | June 24th 2008 by Greg
I admit, I had a rather mellow morning, sort of an exchange to having been woken so awfully early by my kitty. I had a nice soak in the hot tub and then caught Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on HBO. It turns out it may've been a mistake read more
Weeding and Thinking and Dogs and Roses and the Moon, Oh My...
The Midnight Garden | June 11th 2008 by Greg
Ahhh...the heat has broken, as much as it was ever unbroken for us, anyway. We didn't ever crack the 90 degrees that so many inlanders suffered with, thanks to those ocean breezes. It certainly felt hot as blazes here as it was, so my greatest symp read more
