Wishing Everyone a Berry Happy New Year!

Every day I walk to the end of our little street with the three dogs and they love it! One would think it was a the best walk ever. While the walk is short I enjoy seeing all the plant material in everyone's yards. This is the season for berries on so many plants.







I wanted to share some of these great berries (though some are drupes) with you. Each photo can be enlarged by clicking on it.









It has been a wonderful year getting to know so many gardeners via the blogging world. I look forward to another year. May your weeds be few and your blooms be large and fragrant,
As the sun sets on 2009 I wish you all a Happy and Peaceful New Year.

Howdy Partner...Merry Christmas to Ya

My buddy Les asked the following question to the blogging world "What's on your tree?"
My tree is such a combination of ornaments from all the places we lived over the years.








We lived in Germany for about 7 years and the first time we were there was very early in our marriage. As newlyweds our mission was to find cool ornaments for our tree. I love Santa...so we got a lot of Santas over the years. If you look at this collage...the Santa with the white lace background is one that stays up year round. I used to tell the kids that Santa was always watching. That Santa has been mine since I was a kid myself.














Many of the German ornaments are wooden and handmade.


Some of these ornaments are delicate and have not always fared too well over the years. These are some of the more delicate ones.



Merry Christmas to all of you and your families. Hope yours is wonderful.

Happy Veterans Day
