This is a journal of my vegetable gardens. Skippy was my first dog and he thought the garden was his, even though I did all the work. Now Suzie and Charley follow in his footsteps. We're located near Boston (USDA zone 6A). I have a community plot, a backyard vegetable garden, fruit trees, berry bushes, chickens, and bees. I use sustainable organic methods and do my best to grow all of my family's vegetables myself.

advancing cold front
We've had a nice couple days of 60*F weather. Skippy and I have enjoyed walking our usual trails in the balmy warmth. But a cold front is moving in. That's December....

Hi Kathy,
I've been such a fan of your blog and am grateful for the time, effort, and care you put into it--with sharing information freely with others. Such generosity. I rarely comment but I noticed this morning, on another website with a news story about a Florida garden, that it uses a photo that I am sure is yours. This type of occurrence must happen all the time, and perhaps you gave permission to the author, but I just wanted to share my morning's observation with you.
Should be another several days of rain beating down on our campsite near Pittsburgh. Was lovely having a break from it with today's sunny weather and nearly five hours of flying.
Thanks Karen. It does happen a lot. I left them a note asking them to contact me if they want to use my photos since it does appear to be a commercial site.
Isn't it strange about a "winter" sky (we're still technically in autumn. I have an oil painting of the church where my grandparents were baptized in Sweden and see the same colors in the sky at this time of year. Great capture!

Oh, I am sorry, Kathy. I meant to give you the link:

We're beginning to experience regular frosts here as well. Glad that garlic is finally in...

From where I sit winter is definitely a garden of the mind's eye! Get out the books and magazines.
Missing your comments this month, hope all is well.
