Keukenhof and Floriade

Amsterdam is beautiful but cold and wet today.

We walked almost all the streets of Amsterdam. They are postcard perfect.

 

Amsterdam, here we come!

This time next week we will be in Amsterdam. Looking forward to our visit to the Keukenhof Gardens.

 

ILS Convention in Nancy France

Belle de Nancy

Spring in Nancy, France

I am so excited.  We just booked our flights for our trip to the International Lilac Convention in Nancy France the beginning of May.  We will be attending the convention and also visiting the Netherlands  to view the tulips at the Keukenhof Gardens.  It is only 3 months away.

November, and the petunias still bloom

I believe these petunias have set a record for the latest bloom here in my garden at Tete Jaune.

In spite of the of the cold and frosty landscape they are still a bright spot on the deck



Halloween Snowfall

We can usually expect snow for Halloween and here it is.  A good day to stay indoors and read gardening books!

It's Fall

Fall has arrived, most of the leaves have gone and we have had our first snow fall.  One of the bright spots in this picture has been the wonderful sunrise the last few mornings.  The mountains are absolutely beautiful with all the fresh snow on the peaks.

The other bright spot is a pot of petunias still blooming bravely on the front deck.  I am hoping they break the record set a few years ago.
