A Special Giveaway and The Salem Witch Day Lily

The winner Of Teddy's giveaway for the two glass platters is: Millie!!! I already received your shipping info and they are packed and will be shipped out on Monday.


This week Teddy is giving away this wonderful handmade Oberon journal. It could be used as a spellbook! This is handmade from fine leather and finished with a cast pewter button. The designs on the button and book are Celtic.


The interior is filled with blank pages. To enter, leave a comment on this post telling how you would use this journal. If you are not already a follower, sign on to follow. The winner will be announced next Saturday and a new giveaway will be posted at that time.


Oberon is located in Santa Rosa, California. I bought this journal in Seattle.


I think my raised bed vegetable gardens which I built last year in my formal gardens are going to be returned to mother earth this fall. They just don't get enough light. I have only 2 tomatoes so far. The tomato plants are 4 feet tall as they reach for the sun but barely have any flowers at all.



I have a few cherry tomatoes but not enough to be excited about.


The Salem Witch Day Lilies are blooming but they are not particularly attractive because they don't get enough sun either.


My magnolias continue to bloom and smell wonderful.


My berries are sparse in the upper gardens though the bushes are loaded down below.


Do you dry your hydrangeas? If so, how do you do it?


There are not going to be many peaches this year either. A late frost took care of most of them. This doesn't bother me much though since canning peaches is not my favorite activity!

And for any of you that are as excited about the World Cup as I am........GO USA!!!!!!! WIN....WIN....WIN!!!!!!!!
