Idyll Haven: June 2013
http://idyllhaven.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 28, 2013. Axe Murderers and Serial Killers-The Prequel. Like it or not, here we come. On Saturday morning we made our way to Grafton, MA. Two members of our group live within walking distance of each other in this quiet former mill town just southeast of Worcester. Little did we know but a full day of activities had been lined up for our garden touring pleasure. First stop: Mapel Plants. Acres of well maintained gardens and beautiful vistas. On July 20th, Brigham Hill Farm. By June the party...

Idyll Haven: September 2013
http://idyllhaven.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 20, 2013. September Bloom Day Sorta Kinda. OK so Bloom Day is old news. But I took the time to take the pictures and edit them so I might as well post them. In the month since I bid farewell to the beach, time has elapsed at warp speed. Shorter days mean less time to keep up with everything. In an effort to get back to some of my former hobbies I recently joined Meetup. Found what appears to be a great group and started hiking again. So much for weekends! Flowers on the Castor Bean!

Saturday, Aug 6 2016. The perils of summer in New England….A sketch of an unfortunate boating party caught out in a thunderstorm in an August night sometime around 1880. I rather like the turtle down at the corner! Monday, Feb 1 2016. The sun has burned the bars of the clouds and the sky has opened in the west. But the beauty of the life that is here in this evening will remain in God’s hand if nowhere else, the sparrow’s wings are no less glorious than the eagle’s. Tuesday, Dec 1 2015. Comments Off on C...

Idyll Haven: November 2013
http://idyllhaven.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 7, 2013. It Was a Good Year. Here in my CT zone 6 garden, the beginning of November typically finds me up to my knees in fallen leaves and frost blackened foliage. All my beloved tropicals have either been tucked into the garage awaiting a move into the house or long departed to the big compost pile in the sky. Don't get me wrong, by most standards garden season had been over for a few weeks. Compared to July this view of my patio looks downright bleak. However, I can't remembe...Someh...

Idyll Haven: February 2013
http://idyllhaven.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 24, 2013. Connecticut Flower and Garden Show. Spring has sprung, at least at the Hartford Convention Center this weekend for the 32nd Annual Connecticut Flower and Garden Show. "Love in Bloom" was the theme this year although it either wasn't always evident as a design element in the displays or I fell down on the job as an observer. Not to worry, it's the thought that counts. When I got home and checked out her website I found out she is also the artist behind the Fanciful Flights.

the house above heck creek: November 2013
http://thehouseaboveheckcreek.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 17, 2013. At last. We have the framing started on our little house. Ralph, Richard (the contractor man) and Glen (chief carpenter). It was a beautiful day for viewing the progress- rusty red oaks and green pines. On the gray hillsides beneath a brilliant blue sky. And a view from above. Links to this post. Location: Madison, NC, USA. Saturday, November 16, 2013. In the late fall these delicate crocuses appear in yards all over the Midtown neighborhood and are soon buried in leaves. Robyn...

Idyll Haven: April Bloom Day Arrives Kicking and Screaming
http://idyllhaven.blogspot.com/2015/04/april-bloom-day-arrives-kicking-and.html
Wednesday, April 15, 2015. April Bloom Day Arrives Kicking and Screaming. Wow, what a winter! Persistent cold, snow, ice right through March and into early April. Did I say cold? That being said, the pickens are slim. Even the Hellebores have been reluctant to show their faces. Usually Iris reticulata blooms in Mid March here and is done by now unlike Miss Survivor who appears to be here to stay. Good old 'Arnold Promise' Witch hazel has been blooming since mid March, within a day of last year. Too b...

Nightmares «Acair Fearann Acair Fearann
https://acairfearann.com/2015/04/30/nightmares
Thursday, Apr 30 2015. There are, of course, many things to keep one up at night. I don’t usually post about the house here, only the garden and the odd bit of history. That is mostly due to requests by various family members. The house is a nice house, a bit too sprawling perhaps with an eclectic interior. It has a lot of family heritage in it, quite complete. This place is nowhere near the size or grandeur of such places; but I feel a certain kinship to such people. What will happen to this place?
