Stairway Garden
















I am very proud of my hydrangea. I have never been able to grow one before. This Lime Rickey does well all year.

We are growing cukes, and basil, I talian Parsley, and chives.






We really love our lettuces! We can just go out and pick some when we want some, and not have any go to waste in our fridge.

I am most excited of my summer squash! PACOG grew it for me. I have never been able to grow it in containers. It would flower, but never make. Apparently, the trick is fertilizing . Look at these pretty squashies!

Happy Anniversary


Today I had a nice,nice surprise! There was a floral delivery for me! Our 3rd anniversary is the 17th. My first thought was... Jim is awesome! He picked out my favorite flowers: hydrangeas, calla lilies, and peonies. I carried calla lilies at my wedding. My second thought was... why did Jim spend so much money? That's not necessary!Well, the lovely bouquet was from our money managers. My next thought was... maybe we pay them too much!

A Charming Home and Garden in Portland, Or.


Marie is a wonderful hostess and sets a wonderful table. Good friends enjoyed sharing the evening in wonderful surroundings.

A Quaint Portland Home and Garden



My friend, Marie was a stewardess on an airline for several years. Her husband was a pilot. When they went on vacation they would buy one thing for the house, and one for her table.
She has beautiful furnishings! This is a brass camel with a double mirror coffee table. It is so unusual!

She sets a beautiful table! A good time was had by all!
