RAMBLINGS FROM A DESERT GARDEN....: A Wonderful Dilemma....Part 2
http://www.azplantlady.com/2010/09/wonderful-dilemmapart-2.html
A Wonderful Dilemma.Part 2. Faced with the wonderful dilemma of having to choosing what type of tree to plant, I have began to go through the list of candidates - listing their positives and sometimes the negatives. In my last post. We looked at 12 different trees and today I would like to finish the list of prospective tree choices. As much as I love this small tree, I will probably look for something that will grow a little taller. Another of my favorite imports from Australia, Willow Acacia offers bea...

On The Road Again: May 2013
http://joyceagray.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 29, 2013. For the last six months, every day after I finish reading all my favorite blogs, I think I need to do a posting. And then I don't. I think I have a problem finishing, I am a great starter, always ready to go, so excited, full of ideas. But I am not so great on the follow through. We have had a wonderful time the last seven months, been so many places, had great meals, great shopping, met wonderful people and I let it all fly by with no blogging.

http://www.azplantlady.com/2012/03/toilet-paper-rolls-and-vegetable-seeds.html
Toilet Paper Rolls and Vegetable Seeds. Lately, I have been collecting toilet paper rolls. Now I know that may sound a bit weird to some of you, but I needed them for my garden. So how on earth can toilet paper rolls help you in the garden? Well, they are an inexpensive, environmentally friendly tool in which to start seeds indoors. From upper right - bush beans, marigolds, Kentucky beans, cucumbers, sugar snap peas and spinach. I advise wetting the soil before adding it to your toilet paper rolls. Once ...

On The Road Again: Christmas in an RV completed
http://joyceagray.blogspot.com/2014/12/christmas-in-rv-completed.html
Thursday, December 11, 2014. Christmas in an RV completed. We finally finished with the decorations yesterday. I must say it is still strange to be hanging Christmas lights when it is 80 and sunny outside. Not sure why I posted this picture, oh I know I wanted you to see my tree on the table next to the lamp. It is made of crystals and safety pins, I will take a close up of it later so you can see it better, it is so pretty. So that is Christmas in a RV. I have to say it is always a little sad for me...

On The Road Again: Thursday Crafts or Thursday Therapy?
http://joyceagray.blogspot.com/2014/12/thursday-crafts-or-thursday-therapy.html
Saturday, December 20, 2014. Thursday Crafts or Thursday Therapy? I have probably mentioned my Thursday craft group out here in Arizona before, if not we meet every Thursday. Sometimes we have cheese, wine and a mental health meeting. ( we just sit and chat for a few hours) Sometimes our fearless leader has a craft planned for us. Last year we make lots of bracelets and some beautiful Christmas trees mad out of safety pins and crystals. I wish I had taken lots of pictures, but I am finding more and more ...

On The Road Again: April 2012
http://joyceagray.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 30, 2012. I love Santa Fe. The last time we were in Santa Fe was three years ago. We went by the Plaza where the juried Indians set up their jewelry for sale and found a beautiful beaded silver and turquoise bracelet. When we went back this year the same artist was there and I got a lovely pair of earrings to match. She is such a talented person, she and her husband live on the Pueblo and both create jewelry. They are just so pretty. Written by Joyce Gray. Written by Joyce Gray. Night befor...

RAMBLINGS FROM A DESERT GARDEN....: Road Trips & Gardens to Visit!
http://www.azplantlady.com/p/roadtrips.html
Road Trips and Gardens to Visit! Rubbing Lincoln's nose while visiting his tomb in Springfield, IL along with my mother. I love to travel. I come from a long line of travelers, from my grandmother, my parents and now me. In Frankfort, Germany with our nanny. I am the pale, little girl sitting at the end of the bench on the left side. My sister is standing and my brother is wearing green overalls. As a child I spent time in Germany where my grandparents were living. South Haven, Michigan. Roadtrip 2011: M...
