Earth Day… Time Flies

Earth Day will forever have two meanings for me… the day my father passed away 4.22.2024 and a day to plant something new and wonderful in my garden…








Riding through a beautiful area where he used to live… to planting an herb garden… to planting a KOKO LOKO floribunda rose tree and calling her Harry in honor of my dad who loved roses and the name seem perfect for such a fun man… He is truly missed by ALL…

Happy Earth Day!

Springtime… Getting the Garden Lit Up

Springtime has me wanting to be in the garden and thanks to sunshine, I’m excited to plant and decorate my flowerbeds… I never did much with lighting but I found these cute lanterns that work on a timer with batteries… no electricity… and they come on at the time we originally turned them on every night and go off six hours later… adorable during the day…



Anddd… fun to see them flicker at night… my son said it reminds him of Hogwarts and our friends say it looks like fairy lights you see around Disneyland at night… I just love the look…


My friends keep asking be whether I selected warm or cool lights… and the answer is warm for the yellow glow seen above… the “cool” lights tend to cast a blue light. Another thing, the lanterns did not come with holders… I had to buy them separate but I loved that they came in equal sets…



If you look closely, you’ll see that I have place the lanterns all through the flowerbeds… unfortunately, I didn’t take a photo of them on at night… or I should say that I couldn’t get a good photo of them glowing in the garden… and it was too cold to stay outside to capture the perfect shot… I’ll try again during the summer or on a warmer night…





If you’re interested in lighting up your yard too, check out the links above… 
I hope they delight you as much as they do me 

Springtime is the best!!!


P.S. Some of my garden is the inspiration for my book Garden of Lust
