Oregon Grape Mahonia aquifolium
There is no good reason why this plant is loving life in my Central Texas courtyard, being that it is the state flower of freaking Oregon, but it is.
Blackfoot Daisy Melampodium leucanthum
Drought & heat tolerant… attracts butterflies
Bloodgood Japanese Maple Acer palmatum
Loved this so much we went back to the nursery the following day to buy another one of these
Maisy Blue Canis lupis familiaris
Needs lots of water & kisses
Those Damn Biscuits, a Blanket & a Noodle
Remember these? I couldn't get them out of my mind, so I made some. While these were indeed yummy, I will cut the salami into much smaller pieces next time…. these were great but a bit more rustic than i hoped for. I will also try them with ham and cheddar.
I harvested so many collards and mustard greens I had to give a bunch away. These were amazing.
Another Moderne Log Cabin on the needles, knit in lovely woolly heathers.
and the sweet kitty Noodle (one of this blogs namesakes). Noodle will be 13 this March, and while he has slowed down a wee bit, he's still a tiger. I love his h(ears).
