Hope you'll waddle on over to Youtube for a new video..

    Hello to those of you who still visit here on this lonely little blog. It seems I spend a lot more time making videos on You Tube these days, so I guess that is my own fault. Anyway, for those who don't visit the youtube vids; please take a look at these last 2 entries on planting Antique Flowers from seed.

   

and most recent:

 I hope you all are using this wonderful time of year to it's best advantage. God Bless you!

Well, what can I say? This has been a surreal several weeks in this country, and in our world. You can really appreciate your freedom when you've lost it, albeit temporarily

.

I am thankful that, for us, staying in place is quite normal. We live in the country, outside a tiny town and our farm is vast and the air is fresh and there is plenty of work to do around here.

Nevertheless, May cannot come soon enough, lets get our country moving

again!

In this video, I am scavenging free plants, and cooking DELICIOUS Lemon curd cookies for today's Spring Tea.

 Making the most of the day....

Find something new to create, prepare your garden bed, learn a new recipe or read a great book.

 Sending greetings and well wishes to all of my Hopalong Hollow friends!

Welcome to the Workshop..

 

Tea with Beatrix Potter...

Why all the tea parties lately? Well, because there is no gardening to do in the winter. I spend the winter doing artwork, fiber and finally, in Feb and March, start planting seed in trays in the house.

I cover it all in this new video and I have about 15 minutes of information on the beloved Beatrix Potter; her life, her work.

Winter is tea time.....and we love tea in Hopalong Hollow

 "Afternoon tea and Winter Decor from the Garden"

"Cornish Cream, Scones and Tea with Charles Dickens"

 In this video I am actually cooking something. I rarely do that, but baking Scones is easy and Clotted cream is a delicious British treat that anyone can make.
