IT IS BEST TO VIEW THIS BLOG AS A WEB PAGE

View this blog as a WEB PAGE in order to see all the categories.

The web page view is divided by the following subjects:
GARDENING, WEAVING, and FAMILY. 

There are sub-headings of scarf, hat, or plant inventory and a separate heading for Multiple Myeloma.  

I write this blog on a desktop while agonizing over the format -- only to find that it comes out looking in a completely different way on a phone. 
There it just shows posts in decending chronological order.

GARDEN BLOGGERS BLOOM DAY JUNE 2014

Happy June Bloom Day garden bloggers.
I'm joining in for another Bloom Day hosted by May Dream Gardens .
Be sure to check out her blog to see what's blooming in gardens all over the world.

Here is a select group of some of my blooms.

Dactylorhiza fuchsii

Cardiocrinum giganteum var. yunnanense 

Peony  given to me by Marlene Allen

Arisaema candidissimum 

             We are finally getting some rain these past few days, it was almost a month since anything measurable fell.
I've got to get out and get pics of the rest of the garden and then do some more clean up for the garden tour coming here in two weeks.
I have been organizing my collection of Arisaemas for the blog here.

Learning How to Blog

Monday December 2nd, 
Big thanks go out to Roxanne who leads our Green Thumbs Book Group at the Lynnwood Sno Isle Public Library. She recommended using the tech support people at the library to learn how to blog.
One can work with librarians by making appointments for a one-on-one "class" to learn so many things including tech support and computer software. 

So I've been meeting with Jackie to learn about blogging. And with Yoki to learn about photo editing.

I hope that by riding the commuter busses all those years to my work at Eastside Group Health along with all the microsoft employees who worked nearby that maybe, just maybe, some of their computer skills will have rubbed off on me or have been absorbed by osmosis or wishful thinking.

The Cardiocrinums in the Header for this blog are from a picture taken by Linda when she toured my garden in July 2012 on the tour of our garden club neighborhood NPA ( Northwest Perennial Alliance)  group. the rest of the garden pictures are listed in the Horticulture links to the right. also here.
