http://mermaid-at-frog-hollow.blogspot.com/2014/01/shivering-and-cold-herks-beauty-is-yet.html
Monday, January 27, 2014. Shivering and cold. Herks Beauty is yet to be shown. A very quick update on Herks progress. I believe that the lack of sunlight is slowing him down a wee bit! Who can blame him. This is what he was looking like on Saturday. Here he is this morning. each of the red "fingers" will open into its own fireworks of blossom. The smell is very heady. I won't show you outside. not even the freaky amount of birds I have in my garden. Its a bit like an Alfred Hitchcock movie! Img src="http...

Mermaid At Frog Hollow: Cold. Crabbiness and Courthouse steps
http://mermaid-at-frog-hollow.blogspot.com/2014/01/cold-crabbiness-and-courthouse-steps.html
Friday, January 17, 2014. Cold Crabbiness and Courthouse steps. Hows the weather where you are? Ours has been considerably colder then normal with a lot of snow and icy roads. So to combat the cold I have been enjoying several workouts a week at hot Yoga. Its wonderful! Its like being in Mexico. Not to mention the increase in my strength, improved balance and amazing flexibility. I'm sleeping better at night plus I figure I'm getting daily facials with all that deep sweating going on. I'm counting down t...

Mermaid At Frog Hollow: Herks blooming...
http://mermaid-at-frog-hollow.blogspot.com/2014/01/herks-blooming.html
Thursday, January 23, 2014. So just 10 days ago I shared how I had been given a SIGN. I thought I should let you see what Herk has done in just 10 days! I've turned him so that his stock has to reach towards the sun and hopefully make it stronger rather then it getting so heavy and falling down if left on the window side. I will probably go a head and put in a support though because once he actually starts blooming the head gets very heavy. Within two hours of the first photo I took this one! Do you beli...

Mermaid At Frog Hollow: December 2013
http://mermaid-at-frog-hollow.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 18, 2013. I can sing a Rainbow.Blues at Mermaid at Frog Hollow. Blue as a gardener I love this colour. I'm always looking for it to add to my garden. However, not all blues are created equally. The one true blue flower that I absolutely adore I realized on my trip to Alberta and in visiting the Reader Rock Historical garden where I use to work. I do not have! How can this possibly happen. See if in walking through the blues of Frog Hollow if you can figure out which flower that is.

Friday, November 29, 2013. It's Black Friday here. The day after the Turkey coma grabs you! People were camped out before the doors opened and for the first time on the actual Thanksgiving day in what I believe I heard was over 200 years. I calmly told myself with out any hesitation yesterday that there was nothing I needed that would make this non-shopper.go our into the hoards of crazed "possible savings" frenzy. Black Friday savings.WOW! This is what the mermaid does for the winter months. In Marc...

Mermaid At Frog Hollow: May 2014
http://mermaid-at-frog-hollow.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 29, 2014. A Mothers day treat. So where does a mom who can not be with her children go on Mothers day. Well, if she is a gardener she goes to a garden! I was lucky this year as Bear was actually working up in Chicago so I got to go up for the night and head over to the garden early. If I can't be with my girls or the back of a horse off riding in the mountains. The garden is where you will find me. I was mesmerized by how much further along Chicago was then Holland. Colour galore. But arn't...

Mermaid At Frog Hollow: July 2013
http://mermaid-at-frog-hollow.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 31, 2013. Let sleeping dragons lie. On a recent trip out with Bear we saw this statue. A saying of "Let sleeping dragons lie" jumped into my mind and was so important for me to remember on that weekend. The rest of this post is mainly pictures that are favorites of mine. I am an untrained photographer and my three girls are amazed that Im keeping my fingers and hair out of the frames .for the most part! Enjoy Remember. walk quietly so as not to wake the dragon.

Mermaid At Frog Hollow: She's Back!
http://mermaid-at-frog-hollow.blogspot.com/2014/05/shes-back.html
Friday, May 16, 2014. Since the frogs were braving the chilly weather the Mermaid thought she best take up her post. Even with the very few days above 70 degrees everything is growing rapidly. Beds have been edged and its a fight to keep up with the weeds already. I've really loved using the Creeping Jenny as a ground cover under the roses and I've started spreading it to other dark areas through out the garden for contrast. Soon the early dwarf Iris will bloom adding to the effect. See you next time.

Mermaid At Frog Hollow: October 2013

Tuesday, October 29, 2013. Candy for the eye, heart and soul. In Grand Rapids Michigan there is a growing yearly event. Art Prize. Artist of every type media from literally around the world come together and display their exhibits outside on the streets, in parks and inside different venues. How lucky is that for a gardener to just happen upon a vertical gardening exhibit. Look at all the different textures and colours of foliage which is exactly how this works! It reminds me of the art my girls use to b...

Monday, June 24, 2013. The beauty of Mid Summers Eve. Welcome to Frog Hollow. I just spent four days away at a Rotary Youth Life Leadership conference. It was an amazing time but I was certainly happy to return to the sanctuary of my garden. As I walked around the tiredness eased and a calm seeped into my body. I hope that my garden will do the same for you. Enjoy! Have a fantastic week. Thanks for stopping by. Im linking this in with Fertilizer Friday over at Tootsie time. Thursday, June 13, 2013. I try...
