The other direction

Have I shown you the other side of our valley?

Horseshoe Mountain to the East of our house.

I tend to take pictures of the view to the West. 
There is always so much going on.

This is the "little Horseshoe"

There is another, much larger Horseshoe, behind this one. 
Elevation 6,201 feet. 

 We know what kind of water year we are going to have by estimating when the last snow will melt from Horseshoe.

Come Summer, breath taking scenery, will take you there 
by way of the famous "Skyline Drive".  

Mark it on your calendar.

Never give up.

How many times will a garden freeze before the Gardener gives up.

My "Sensation" lilac froze this year but surprised me and rewarded me with a few second blooms.

Orchids will always reward you.  Good light and a little water is all they need. 

The snow is still deep on Horseshoe Mountain Ridge...
it will be a good watering year.   

My daisies are back after almost being wiped out last year by an overly zealous helper who tried to get rid of dandelions.

A new color of Foxglove? 

Our little town celebrated Heritage Days this past weekend.  

Many people came and bought.  My hand painted and simple bowls are still a favorite.

How is your garden growing?
