Totally Green: April 2009
http://thebeginnergardener.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Tales of a Beginner Gardener. Monday, April 27, 2009. Last week was just goregous in Paris: sunshine, blue skies, lovely cool breezes. Made me impatient to see my (would-be) garden again. A friend gave me some Dahlia bulbs for my birthday and I couldn't wait to clear a little space in the yard to plant them. Of our beautiful 6-foot windows - all we could see was dirty plastic. I was bummed that not only could I not plant my bulbs, I couldn't even see the yard. A weird, claustrophobic sensation. My timing...

Tales of a Beginner Gardener. Wednesday, April 22, 2009. Balcony plants: Care of Lavender. This blog will mainly be about the development of the garden at my house, but every now and then (like now) I will feel compelled to talk about the flowers on our balcony in Paris. In autumn, before the first frost. A few weeks have gone by since the pruning. The plant has definitely grown with lots of new green leaves (no flowers yet - too early? I've posted a couple of pictures of the plant below (click on the pi...

Tales of a Beginner Gardener. Wednesday, July 8, 2009. Dahlias and Grass Seeds and Lavender.Oh my! It was fun deciding where to put the dahlias. As I don't yet have a plan for the garden, I felt I could put them anywhere. I opted for around the well, so I'd be able to see them from our kitchen window:. So, that's the update on our garden. Once the baby's born and we are at the house more frequently, I'll be posting regularly again. It'll go into the ground at our house this fall.). Sun and shade patterns.

Totally Green: Lavender redux
http://thebeginnergardener.blogspot.com/2009/05/lavender-redux.html
Tales of a Beginner Gardener. Friday, May 15, 2009. But advancements have been made in small ways. With the help of our friend, Dawg finished assembling our compost bin. It seemed quite a laborious task, but I think it looks great! And the compost itself is beginning to become a dark and earthy mix; finally not just a heap of twigs and organic trash. Here's a pic of the bin hanging out behind our barn:. Now if I could ever find a moment to actually spend in the garden! May 17, 2009 at 4:45 AM. On weekend...

Totally Green: How to sow grass seeds, part I: preparing the soil
http://thebeginnergardener.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-to-sow-grass-seeds-part-i-preparing.html
Tales of a Beginner Gardener. Friday, September 25, 2009. How to sow grass seeds, part I: preparing the soil. Last weekend, for the first time ever, I had the pleasure working in my yard, doing the back-breaking, thigh-throbbing, never-ending work of preparing the soil for sowing grass seeds. As I wrote in an earlier post, due to the yard looking like this:. We decided to have the entire yard leveled by local farmer and have some topsoil added. Then Dawg and I would sow the grass seeds ourselves. I swear...

http://fauxtographyphlog.blogspot.com/2013/02/west-wing.html
Life is hectic. Photographing it makes it more manageable. Before Christmas, we were treated to a tour of the West Wing of the 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue by a climber friend. It was pretty awesome seeing parts of the working White House that few see in person. Too bad my camera wasn't allowed to capture too many of them! ISO 1600, f/1.8, 1/80s). Labels: black and white.
