Hydrangea Arrangements

July 31, 2020 Sherri Rinker

Trying to create arrangements with unusual things around the garden — sage, papyrus, spearmint, aquatic mint and a few Annabelle hydrangeas. 🌱 Aesthetically, the results are mixed 🤷🏻‍♀️, but it sure smells good! 🥰

Beautiful Garden

July 20, 2020 Sherri Rinker

A “then” and “now” of our first attempt at a water garden this year.

It’s been a fun experiment for my oldest son and me — Our only real disappointment has been lots of lily pads, but, alas, no lilies. 😢

New Beginnings

June 4, 2020 Sherri Rinker

I took this photo last night; it’s the first rose to bloom in my gardens. I’m usually so busy, I don’t see what blooms first, so I don’t know if yellow always takes the lead? But, I feel blessed to be paying attention this year. 💛 Yellow roses: symbolizes joy, delight, friendship and new beginnings.
