Thryallis
I have long been jealous of the little old man who lives down the road and has his yard almost covered with these bushes. I love the way they’re green all year but then flower in the AUTUMN! Not in the...

Well those just go perfectly together
Last week I was doing some yard work; specifically, looking for a pot to put a large plant in that’s going to need to be brought inside when it gets under 50. I’d made this pot a number of years ago,...

Sunset; sunrise
I’m hard pressed to say which light I like better; the silvery shimmer of the morning sun or the warm golden-red of the late afternoon. I’m lucky to live in a house that faces the way mine does, so...

A perfect match
For my birthday, Cindy and Pat got me this delicious looking plant (OK, maybe not “delicious” in the traditional sense of the word, since I don’t want to eat it). Then a couple weeks ago I was cleaning...

Evolution of a table
What do you do when you’re having about ten or more people for Thanksgiving, but you don’t have a table? MAKE ONE. Also, benches. See the end result if when I get my Thanksgiving photos uploaded!

Stop and smell the flowers
I’ve spent entirely too much time answering email and social-media-ing this morning, and really need to shower and get working — so no in-depth blog post today but here are some pretty flowers! This...

Go home, weather, you’re drunk!
I think I may have mentioned that with the exception of a few days here and there, we had a really mild winter. Gainesville usually does have a few nights of sub-freezing temperatures (no, really,...

Deck and cover
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned here, but if you’re friends with Sharon and I on Facebook, you’ve probably seen the pictures — Tim is helping her and Chris build a deck for their back yard. AND WHAT A...

We got Nature all up in here

That time I lived on a farm
Tree Frog Farm, the forty acres my dad and StepMonster bought the summer before I turned 15, has been much on my mind the last few weeks. Probably because I feel time echoing. The Farm was down a...

I hesitate to even say this out loud because I don’t want to jinx it, but there is a good chance that HaldeCraft Headquarters will be moving over the summer. I KNOW! So much excitement; such wow (as...
